Big Draft May Not Kill LSU In '07
AOL SPORTS, NY - 22 hours ago
Four LSU Tigers were selected in the first round of last week's NFL draft. Conventional wisdom says that means four unprepared backups are filling in for great players and a drop-off from last season's record. Maybe conventional wisdom is wrong?

Of the eight teams with four or more players chosen in the first round of the draft in the last 10 years, good results abound. One team (2001 Miami) won a national championship and two teams (2002 Miami, 2006 Ohio State) were national runner-ups. Not bad.

Only two of the eight teams so much as had records worse than 9-3: last year's Florida State squad that went 7-6 and the 2003 Penn State Nittany Lions who had a depressing 3-9 encore.

That bodes well for the Tigers' chances next year, although expectations are already through the roof as most fans feel they'll be the preseason No. 2 team behind USC.

The Tigers lost a lot of talent to the NFL this year... how good can they possibly be without Russell, Bowe, Landry, et. al.?
