LSU Tigers set new SEC record with five first round draft picks
An eventful first day of the draft for LSU Tigers who led the way with five first round picks, a new Southeastern Conference record.
And that would make sense, coming off a national title with Joe Burrow going number one overall to the Bengals, K’Lavon Chaisson to the Jaguars at 20, Justin Jefferson to the Vikings at 22, Patrick Queen to the Ravens at 28 and Clyde Edwards-Helaire to the Chiefs at 32.
Four of the last 13 picks were Tigers.
Even more where that came from with safety Grant Delpit going to the Cleveland Browns with the 44th overall selection.
Delpit was a three year starter and two time All-American at LSU and capped it off by winning this year’s Jim Thorpe Award.
The 44th pick originally came from the Indianapolis Colts in a trade, allowing the Colts to jump up to the 41st position to take Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor.
