Tank for the SEC West? Pro Football Focus mock draft features 14 SEC players

Joe Burrow may be going from the Bayou Bengals to the Cincinnati Bengals if one mock draft is accurate.
Pro Football Focus released an updated mock draft and had the LSU quarterback at No. 1 followed by Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa going to the Washington Redskins at No. 2.
PFF explained why Burrow is No. 1: “His rise to the top of the PFF draft board has been meteoric, but it didn’t necessarily come out of nowhere. The fact that Burrow had four games graded at 89.0 or higher last season means we saw flashes of this guy before becoming the highest graded draft-eligible quarterback this season.”
Here’s the run down on Tagovailoa: “With Dwayne Haskins getting an extended look now, it’s very possible the Redskins choose to go the same route as the Cardinals and re-up at quarterback if they feel a better prospect is available. Tagovailoa has been largely status quo this season, as he’s only needed to make seven big-time throws to put up a gaudy 144.1 passer rating.”
Here are other SEC players as the mock draft had 14 from the SEC.
4. WR Jerry Jeudy, Alabama, Miami Dolphins
7. OT Andrew Thomas, Georgia, Cleveland Browns
8. DB Kristian Fulton, LSU, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
11. OT Alex Leatherwood, Alabama, Arizona Cardinals

13. CB Trevon Diggs, Alabama, Jacksonville Jaguars

28. OT Jedrick Willis, Alabama, Seattle Seahawks
30. CB Cameron Dantzler, Mississippi State, New Orleans Saints
