The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft begins Thursday night in Kansas City.
This year’s draft will be different from an LSU perspective. LSU’s streak of having a player taking top-five in four straight drafts (Devin White in ‘19, Joe Burrow in ‘20, Ja’Marr Chase in ‘21, and Derek Stingley in ‘22) will come to an end. Not only that, it’s quite likely LSU won’t have any player taken in the first round, unless a team picking toward the backend falls in love with BJ Ojulari’s play and character (and I’d advise that course of action if any NFL GMs read this).
