LSU players just scare the shit out of me as prospects. When you look back over the last 6 or 7 drafts it is kind of shocking how much top tiered talent comes out of LSU only to underwhelm or just flat out disappoint. Patrick Peterson is the only one that I can think of who has been worth their pre-draft status. I guess Morris Claiborne was solid for Dallas last year.
Tyson Jackson
Glenn Dorsey
Michael Brockers
LaRon Landry
Brandon LaFell
Buster Davis
Jamarcus Russell
I just cant tell if Eric Reid is good and just had a down year? Or, he is just average and was given a boost by playing with a tremendous amount of talent around him.
Frankly, if they are going to take a safety, it better be DJ Swearinger. I like Elam and Vaccsaro, but Swearinger is a no bullshit free safety with stellar coverage skills.

Re: Draft / FA / Offseason Roster Moves (Merged)
In defense of my fav school, LSU, that could be said of every school. I will say that Bowe is a stud. Kyle Williams is a real good DT. Lafell's been a real solid #2. Addai had some good years and Ridley is really good. Also Doucet, when healthy, is a good slot WR. Like you said though, there are busts. Jackson, Davis, and Russell have been duds. Blockers, PP, and Claiborne are 1st and 2nd yr guys. It's kinda early to judge them. I think it just evens itself out.

I would hate it if we took Eric Reid in the first round. He is so overrated.

Re: Draft / FA / Offseason Roster Moves (Merged)
My point is that we were talking earlier about how some schools have prospects that are ridiculously overrated just because of the school they are (Notre Dame being one, USC another) and I think LSU is definitely one of those schools.
You're right though. Ridley looks like a solid back.
Early Doucet is decent...but he isn't anything special IMO.
PP is one of the better corners in the league. No doubt about it.
Claiborne looked good his first year. IMO, he definitely lived up to 1st round expectations.
Michael Brockers...ehhh...I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since he was hurt after the Ravens pre-season game, but he didn't do anything special IMO.
I'm just saying...everyone is putting Eric Reid up on a pedestal right now and I don't know if I buy it or not. He looks the part, but so did a lot of these other guys.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

I don't think Reid is the 1st round talent we're looking for.

Alabama CB has a torn shoulder labrum.
He is still participating in the combine (probably not bench press), but will have surgery directly following the combine.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
