Whatever slot Charles Tillman went at. I think mid to early second round.

What's the highest any UL player has been drafted before?

Peanut with the 35th pick of the '03 draft.

With the amount of talent we're bringing in now, I wouldn't expect that record to stand for longer than a few more years.

[CrazyCajun]

you can say what you want but toothpick brought in talent, he just just had no idea what to do with it. It will be hard for that pick to be beat which pretty much means a first round pick.

[CajunFan3406]

In what I would consider the modern age of the Sun Belt (2000-present), only 2 players from this conference have been drafted higher than Tillman and they were both in the first round. Leodis McKelvin (Troy, '08) with the 11th overall pick and Demarcus Ware with the 11th overall pick as well in the '05 draft. If the Cajuns continue on the upward path, beating 35th overall is possible.

[SlappyCajun]

We can definitely beat it. But it will likely have to be a lineman not a skill position guy.

UL has three potential 1st round picks on their squad & several more early, mid, & late rounders. They just need to achieve their maximum potential & stay healthy.

What's the highest any UL player has been drafted before?

I don't know about the 1940's but Tillman went the highest in the modern era. In the 2nd round

Do you guys think if White has a great season and shows some good speed and skills in his pre-draft workouts that he could go pretty high? Bill went in the 3rd and a big knock on him was his size at 5' 10" , 182.

when scouts were here last year watching bill and LG, several were very impressed with melvin, he is a big corner even in the nfl.
