The LSU Tigers finished the 2024-25 season with a 9-4 record and featured several players who will soon hear their name called in less than two weeks when the NFL Draft takes place in Green Bay, WI.
Who are those players — and what are we hearing regarding where they may land?
T/G Will Campbell Mock Draft Projections
- CBS Sports: Round 1, Pick 4
- USA Today: Round 1, Pick 10
Campbell is easily the Tigers’ highest-rated prospect. Last season, he was one of the top offensive tackles in college football. His NFL Combine measurements sparked much debate, as his arm length was recorded at 32 5/8″, which is considered by some to simply be too short to play tackle in the NFL.
Tackles usually go high; with the New England Patriots needing a protector for quarterback Drake Maye, the LSU standout could go as high as fourth overall. But if they deem the arm length an issue and see him more as a guard, Campbell is at risk of falling outside the top ten.
EDGE Bradyn Swinson Mock Draft Projections
- NFL.com: Round 5
- The Athletic: Round 4
Swinson broke out in his final season and his second with the Tigers, registering 8.5 sacks. However, his potential is seen as limited, as he spent five seasons at the college level. He’s projected to be an early-to-mid Day 3 pick.
TE Mason Taylor Mock Draft Projections
- Pro Football Network: Round 2, Pick 55
- CBS Sports: Round 1, Pick 32
An experienced tight end with the physical tools to succeed at the next level almost immediately, Taylor could hear his name as early as the end of the first round but also could see his floor being the end of the second round. It’ll largely depend on where the tight ends rated higher than him get drafted and the value for the position.
CB Zy Alexander Mock Draft Projections
- Sports Illustrated: Round 5
- The Athletic: Round 5
Battle-tested SEC cornerbacks will almost always get a chance in the NFL, and Alexander is a good example. He took on numerous tough matchups last season and performed well enough to be considered in the draft, albeit as a fifth-round or later pick.
G Miles Frazier Mock Draft Projections
- Sports Illustrated: Round 5
- USA Today: Round 5
Frazier was an athletic, physically imposing player on the interior of the Tigers’ offensive line. His pad level was much too high too often, making him susceptible to power rushers, which left his draft stock as a mid-Day 3 pick.
T Emery Jones Jr. Mock Draft Projections
- NFL Draft Buzz: Round 4
- 33rd Team: Round 4
On the other side of the line, opposite Campbell, Jones has the exact frame teams are looking for with an offensive tackle. He lacks hip movement and mobility against faster rushers, as he tends to have issues in those areas.
While that lowers his value, it would be a surprise if Jones fell beyond the fourth round due to his NFL-ready frame.
EDGE Sai’vion Jones
- NFL Draft Buzz: Round 5
- 33rd Team: Round 6

Power is Jones’ strength, as he measures out to be a more traditional defensive end than an edge rusher. He plays well against the run but doesn’t quite move the needle as far as rushing the passer, limiting his value to the later rounds.
