Potential NFL fits for LSU’s top draft prospects

LSU offensive tackle Jordan Seaton and tight end Trey’Dez Green are the Tigers prospects Caleb Yaccarino of And The Valley Shook projects as possible first-round selections in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Seaton is projected near the top of the class because of his athleticism and his work in run blocking and pass protection. Yaccarino views him as a likely top-5 selection and the leading tackle in the class following an injury to Texas tackle Trevor Goosby.

The draft order listed in the source has the Los Angeles Chargers first, followed by the Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles. Yaccarino sees Tennessee as the clearest possible destination because of its need at tackle, provided the Titans rate Seaton as the class’s second-best player.

The Chargers are viewed as less likely to select a tackle, with wide receiver Jeremiah Smith identified as the top player in the draft. Miami and the New York Jets also could consider Seaton, though Yaccarino expects their quarterback needs to take priority. Philadelphia rounds out the group of possible top-5 landing spots.

Yaccarino does not consider Green a top-10 lock, and Oregon tight end Jamari Johnson is another candidate to be the first player selected at the position. Green’s athleticism and ability to make difficult plays give him a case to move ahead in that competition.

The Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs are identified as possible fits. Seattle currently holds the highest selection among those three teams in the order cited by the source. Yaccarino also points to Green as a possible successor to Travis Kelce in Kansas City, while Seattle and New England are presented as teams that could use him as a major offensive addition.

Why it matters

LSU has two players projected as possible first-round selections in the 2027 NFL Draft. Seaton is positioned near the top of the class, while Green’s standing depends partly on his competition with Oregon’s Jamari Johnson.
