The LSU Tigers put up a nice showing for the 2012 NFL draft. The Tigers started out with six good candidates and two of those went in the top fifteen. Moris Claiborne was the first to go when the Dallas Cowboys drafted him as the number six overall pick. Claiborne leaves LSU as an accomplished cover man whose foot speed and size makes him able to step in and take on the NFL's best from day one. The Cowboys will not be disappointed with Claiborne. Second to go was Michael Brockers who was drafted by the St. Louis Rams as the number fourteen overall pick. Few defensive players have the raw athletic ability and potential as Brockers and his ability to stop the run will make him a great fit in the struggling Rams defense. Wide receiver Reuben Randall went in the second round to the New York Giants and although he may not be a household name Randall is surely to flourish in the NFL. At 6'3" and 210lbs Randall is a polished receiver who has good potential to make is mark in the big league. Safety Brandon Taylor went 73rd overall in the third round. Although Taylor is a physical safety who enjoys getting in the mix to support the run he rarely put his coverage skills to use and it will be interesting to see how he handles the speed and athleticism of the NFL. Corner Back Ron Brooks was the last to go, going to the Buffalo Bills (124th overall) in the fourth round. Brooks is a scrappy player who although undersized is able to make his presence known. It will be interesting to see how he shines in the NFL. I am very excited to see how these Tigers will fair in the NFL but I am even more excited to see the 2012 Tigers make their way to another National Championship run.
