LSU is reportedly losing one of its best defenders to the NFL Draft

This is a huge loss.

LSU junior defensive tackle Davon Godchaux might be surprising some people if reports are to be believed. The 6'4", 300-pound behemoth looks like he will declare for the NFL Draft.

Godchaux finished the 2016 season with 62 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and one pass breakup. He could be a nice steal for anyone who gets him on Day 2 of the draft and could probably contribute immediately.
