Pro Football Focus released an updated NFL Mock Draft this week and has a trio of LSU players selected in the first three rounds of the Draft.

Cornerback Mansoor Delane will be the first Tiger off the board, going No. 11 overall to the Miami Dolphins. Delane would be the first defensive back selected in the draft.

PFF has safety A.J. Haulcy rising in the draft as the first player selected in the 2nd round, going No 33 overall to the New York Jets. PFF previously had Haulcy going No. 45 overall to the Ravens.

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier is projected to be picked No. 85 overall in the 3rd round by the Pittsburgh Steelers. PFF previously had him at No. 65 overall to the Cardinals.

In these projections, Nussmeier would be the third quarterback selected, behind Indiana's Fernando Mendoza at No. 1 to the Raiders, and Alabama's Ty Simpson at No. 34 to the Cardinals.

Round 1
11. Miami Dolphins: CB Mansoor Delane, LSU
Delane’s breakout 2025 season at LSU could make him the first cornerback selected in this class. His 90.7 PFF coverage grade ranked third among qualified FBS cornerbacks, and he allowed just 14 receptions all season. He would aid a Miami unit that ranked 23rd in PFF coverage grade in 2025.

Round 2
33. New York Jets: S A.J. Haulcy, LSU

Round 3
85. Pittsburgh Steelers: QB Garrett Nussmeier, LSU
