The New Orleans Saints picked an LSU player. It really happened.
Offensive lineman Will Clapp showed off his versatility over the last three seasons with LSU and now that flexibility along the offensive line has paid off for the New Orleans native who gets to stay home for the start of his NFL career. Clapp, who prepped at Brother Martin, was selected in the seventh round with the 245th pick on Saturday by the Saints. Clapp becomes the first LSU player drafted by the Saints since defensive tackle Al Woods in 2010. Throughout his time with the Tigers, Clapp started 13 games at center, 12 games at left guard and 11 games at right guard. He started out at right guard in 2015 and also started one game that season at left guard. Clapp earned All-SEC Freshman team honors as he helped paved the way for Leonard Fournette to rush for an LSU record 1,953 yards. Clapp switched over to left guard full-time in 2016 and once again helped give LSU a 1,000-yard rusher as Derrius Guice ran for 1,387 yards, the top mark in the SEC. Clapp was honored with first-team ALL-SEC following the season. Last season represented another position switch for Clapp when he moved to center full-time. He played and started in all 13 games in the middle of the line and was again named All-SEC first team. Read more on NOLA |

Re: New Orleans Saints pick LSU offensive lineman Will Clapp in 7th round
There is proof Payton doesn’t hate LSU after all,
Yea a seventh round pick is going to replace an all pro center. Guarantee nobody would say a word positive about him if he played for ole miss or bama |

Re: New Orleans Saints pick LSU offensive lineman Will Clapp in 7th round
I like this pick. Sounds like he could be a solid backup for us for a couple of years. Great that he know how to play on both sides already.

Re: New Orleans Saints pick LSU offensive lineman Will Clapp in 7th round
I'm just grateful for some depth on the O-line. We have a great O-line coach and this could wind up being another Zach Strief type of move.
