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

This is a huge loss.

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.
