Lots of mock drafts out there right now, but every year, some players' performances and measurables cause them to move way up (or down) in draft position. What SEC guys do you see moving up (or down)? Doesn't have to mean you think they will do well (or poorly) in the NFL once drafted.

For LSU, I think Lewis Neal (DE) will move up quite a bit. Guy is really strong, and also should score high on the interviews and Wonderlic test. Malachi Dupre (WR)will probably score well and move up some.

I think Ethan Pocic (C) will fall some. Our Oline guys never seem to do as well in bench press reps and such.

Too small, imo. His measurables will hold him back. Teams look at that way more than bench reps. But he could impress GMs with his brain.

I think T White is a guy we see rise, more so because of the tape. You can throw on tape of him holding his own against guys like Mike Evans and Amari Cooper who are some of the best NFL WR's

I feel like Marlon Humphrey can make or break his draft position at the combine. I still feel like there's a little left on the table with him so we shall see.

Don't know how far they will move up, but OJ Howard and Marlon Humphrey are going to impress at the Combine. They have all the measurables that scouts drool over.

This, he was absolutely amazing this year. PFF graded him out as the best DB in the country. Dude just knows how to blanket a receiver and take him out of the game. I am shocked when I see him on some mocks as low as the 7th or 8th CB off the board.

Malachi Dupre will probably do well. If not, his stock may plummet.

He plays at the same weight (lower 250's) as Danielle Hunter does. Shorter though by 3 inches. Maybe Neal could play a similar role.

Deatrich Wise will help himself after our horrible year on defense. He won't get back to where some people had him before the season started, the first round. But he will most likely move up, especially considering the Shrine game performance.

Lewis Neal isn't in the same stratosphere as Danielle Hunter athletically. He will likely be a late round guy if he's selected.

Probably, but the guy has Trent Cole and Robert Mathis written all over him.

Agree. Chi will measure just over 6'2", jump close to 40", and look good in drills.

OJ Howard is going to crush it on measurables. So is Dalvin Tomlinson. That's one quick, powerful, explosive 310 lb guy.

Based on on-field play RSJ & Speedy should not be drafted. I don't expect either to get a combine invite, but with a killer pro day, both could sneak into the draft.

I know OJ basically played 2 games his entire career, but most already have him as a 1st, maybe 2nd round projection. I'm not sure even a perfect combine will push him into the top 10.

Ryan Anderson. He would be an all-star on any other team.

He's a beast

He certainly has the size to cause a mismatch with small dbs.

I think Montravius Adams gets a boost at the combine.

Malachi Dupre will have a 40" vert

Leonard Fournette will run a sub 4.45
