Yahoo NFL Mock Draft Has Four Tigers Selected In First Round, Including Harold Perkins

1. Jacksonville Jaguars — LSU OT Will Campbell
“Campbell is a technician on the left side who constantly stays balanced and in a winning position. His upright stance looks funky, but he’s a good athlete with light feet who can move in space and has the core strength to bring pop in the run game. Campbell is a consistent and smart player for a franchise desperately needing some of that.”

10. New York Giants — Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU
Surprise? Get used to seeing this name in mock drafts. Nussmeier has been one of the best quarterbacks in the country and has operated the LSU offense with extreme ease and efficiency. He could be the next face of the Giants if he keeps up this pace.

15. Chicago Bears — Emery Jones, OT, LSU
This is about injecting more talent into the offensive line and since there are no real center candidates that make sense in this spot, the Bears go with Will Campbell’s LSU tacklemate. Jones can get out of position at times, but he has the size and length to stay out at tackle. With the Bears, he could create a powerful right side of the offensive line with Darnell Wright.

30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Harold Perkins, LB/Edge, LSU
Perkins is the wild card of the draft. He has extreme production at times throughout his career, but is currently out for the season with a torn ACL and playing somewhat of an undefined position as far as projecting to the NFL goes. He didn’t have a whole lot of traditional linebacker responsibilities and is smaller than most NFL edge rushers — so we will just give him to Todd Bowles and let him figure it out. The Buccaneers aren’t a stranger to tweener types in the front seven with guys like Calijah Kancey and YaYa Diaby. Perkins could be another weapon for this defense.
