Re: In case you forgot (or even care) the NFL draft is tonight

Three months after winning a national championship, LSU is still dominating the football landscape.

Starting with Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Joe Burrow at No. 1 overall, the Tigers went on to tie the record by having 14 players selected in a seven-round NFL draft, matching Ohio State's mark from 2004.

The NFL switched to a seven-round format in 1994. The only team with more players selected in the common draft era (since 1967) was Texas, which saw 17 players chosen during a 12-round draft in 1984, according to research by ESPN Stats & Information and the Elias Sports Bureau.

The SEC as a whole had 63 players drafted, one shy of its own record of 64 players in a seven-round draft -- which was set last year. The conference already made history by having 15 players selected in Round 1.

The Tigers saw five players selected in Round 1 -- falling one short of the record set by the 2004 Miami Hurricanes (Burrow at No. 1, outside linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson at No. 20, wide receiver Justin Jefferson at No. 22, linebacker Patrick Queen at No. 28 and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire at No. 32).

LSU had two players selected in Round 2 (safety Grant Delpit and cornerback Kristian Fulton), three in Round 3 (guard Damien Lewis, center Lloyd Cushenberry III and LB Jacob Phillips), two in Round 4 (offensive tackle Saahdiq Charles and defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence), one in Round 6 (long-snapper Blake Ferguson) and one in Round 7 (tight end Stephen Sullivan).

Remember kids, tattoos are permanent.

When the New England Patriots drafted Marshall kicker Justin Rohrwasser, there was a controversy over one of his tattoos and speculation it meant he supported a far-right militia group, the Three Percenters.

It’s a totally clean tatt and recent. He knew what he was doing.

I want Clowney so bad. I think he's overrated in the sense that he isn't going to dramatically improve a teams pass rush, but he's still a good player who would be an upgrade over Casey.

ESPN showed a rerun of the 2nd and 3rd day of the draft. C'mon ESPN... be better than that.

Not draft related, but is it weird both Clowney & Cam are still unsigned FAs?

We definitely put all our eggs in the Clowney basket by not drafting a pass rusher.

Dude is a physical freak in terms of strength and is pretty damn athletic. His arm length is average at best and tends to get lazy at times. He's susceptible to a legit inside move because he tends to overcompensate but he's got a great recovery time. He can play LT or RT (played mostly RT at Iowa but that's mostly cuz Alaric Jackson can only play LT). He'll be a legit tackle for years to come, IMO, and has the strength to move inside at G if necessary.

Is the NFL draft over yet?

Or are we keeping this here for eternity?
