| 0:00.0 | All right back with Jacob Hester, Emily Dixon, to recap the rest of the NFL |
| 0:19.3 | draft for LSU. |
| 0:20.4 | It was a busy rest of the draft for LSU |
| 0:22.4 | as we expected. Fourteen guys ended up getting picked. That's a tied record in the modern era. |

| 1:32.0 | Now let's just get to talk about it because we have so much to talk about for a while with |
