LSU is ranked No. 3 in college football programs with the most talent in the upcoming 2017 NFL Draft, according to NFL.com.

The Tigers came in behind only No. 1 Michigan and Alabama with 12 players listed as likely draft picks.

Here is what NFL.com said about the Tigers:

"It's another talent-filled draft class for the Tigers, who have had the second-most players selected in the draft since 2005 (72, only behind USC's 78). Jamal Adams and Leonard Fournette could give the school two top-five selections for the first time since 1960 (Billy Cannon, Johnny Robinson).



Malachi Dupre and Davon Godchaux could prove to be excellent second- or third-round steals if team needs and the stacked underclassmen group prevent them from being called as early as expected."

Early rounds: S Jamal Adams, WR Malachi Dupre, RB Leonard Fournette, C Ethan Pocic
Middle rounds: LB Kendell Beckwith (injury), WR Travin Duval, DL Davon Godchaux, CB Tre'Davious White
Late rounds: OG Josh Boutte, TE Colin Jeter, DE Lewis Neal, LB Duke Riley

Another possible draft pick is Tigers defensive back Dwayne Thomas.

Since Saints don't draft LSU, no matter
