LSU underclassmen entering the NFL Draft?
In the 10:10 PM update, Pauline dropped some inside dirt on numerous LSU underclassmen who may be entering the 2020 NFL Draft. Here’s what he said:
The contest in Baton Rouge between Florida and LSU is close, as the Gators keep hanging around and are presently leading the game at the start of the third quarter.
LSU usually has a ton of underclassmen enter the draft, some who end up as early selections while others are players that would be better off staying for another season on the college field.
Earlier this week when speaking with someone close to the program, the comment was passed to me, “at least a half dozen underclassmen from LSU will enter the draft.” Some are obvious while others are not. Here’s my present board of underclassmen prospects from LSU.

And while Pauline has K’Lavon Chaisson projected to go in the fifth round at this time, Schulte believes he will be a first-round selection. Here’s what he said in the 11:07 PM update.
Really impressed with LSU edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson. He has a tremendous ceiling at the next level due to his elite athleticism, but he is still learning the finer points of becoming a pass rusher.
He’s made several splash plays this season in almost every game LSU has played. A team is going to bank on his upside early in the upcoming NFL Draft. I can almost guarantee he is a first-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft
There’s still a long way to go before the draft boards are finalized, so Chaisson will continue to have opportunities to raise his stock.
