SEC Unfiltered: How LSU's draft picks fit in with their new NFL teams

Welcome to SEC Unfiltered, the USA TODAY NETWORK's newsletter on SEC sports. Look for this newsletter in your inbox every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Today, LSU reporter Koki Riley takes over:

LSU football had a surprisingly successful NFL Draft this past week.

The Tigers had 10 players selected which was the second-most in a single draft in program history. And only Georgia (15) had more players drafted.

Now that the dust has finally settled, here's how each LSU draft pick fits in with their new NFL team.

Derek Stingley Jr.: Houston Texans

Stingley, a cornerback, was selected with the third overall pick by Houston. Given the number of holes on the Texans roster, Stingley should be able to start on Day 1 and be a cornerstone piece at an important position for Houston.

Ed Ingram: Minnesota Vikings

Ingram was the 59th overall pick in the second round by the Vikings. Although it was a bit of a surprise that Ingram was selected in the second round, he should get a chance to earn early playing time on a Vikings offensive line that has struggled in recent seasons.

Cordale Flott: New York Giants

New Giants general manager Joe Shoen is attempting to reshape New York's entire roster after multiple losing seasons. Flott, after being selected by Shoen with the 81st overall selection in the third round, could help reshape a Giants secondary that lacks depth and has expensive veteran pieces.

Tyrion Davis-Price: San Francisco 49ers

Expect Davis-Price, who was selected by the 49ers with the 93rd overall pick in the third round, to earn a role in San Francisco's running back rotation. The junior's downhill running style fits perfectly into coach Kyle Shanahan's zone-blocking scheme.

Cade York: Cleveland Browns

One day after selecting York with the 124th overall pick in the fourth round, Cleveland released both of its veteran kickers in Chase McLaughlin and Chris Blewitt. That should allow York to start right away for the Browns.

Neil Farrell Jr.: Las Vegas Raiders

Farrell, a defensive tackle, adds depth to a Raiders line that needed it heading into the draft. Despite resigning veteran Johnathan Hankins to a short-term extension, Las Vegas' decision to select Farrell with the 126th overall pick in the fourth round shows that they believe he could be a long-term solution at the position.

Damone Clark: Dallas Cowboys

Clark, a linebacker selected with the 176th overall pick in the fifth round by the Dallas Cowboys, provides a high-ceiling and low-risk option at linebacker for coach Mike McCarthy's team. If he is able to stay healthy and fully recover from spinal fusion surgery he underwent just after the NFL Draft Combine, then he could be a steal for Dallas.

Austin Deculus: Houston Texans

Deculus doesn't have tremendous upside or athleticism, but his four years of starting experience in the SEC proves that he is good enough to find a role at right tackle in the NFL. That's even if he may not start right away, as Houston selected him with the 205th overall pick in the sixth round.

Chasen Hines: New England Patriots

After losing Ted Karras and Shaq Mason on the interior of its offensive line, Hines should provide depth and upside for the Patriots at guard. As the 210th overall pick in the sixth round, he will likely be coming off the bench with first round pick Cole Strange probably occupying one of the starting spots at guard. But Hines has the tools to potentially work his way onto the field in future seasons.

Andre Anthony: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Anthony provides more depth to a Buccaneers defensive line that has been one of the most disruptive pass-rushing units in the NFL over the last few seasons. If Anthony, the 248th overall pick in the seventh round, shows that the burst and production he had at the beginning of this past season wasn't a fluke, then perhaps he can earn some playing time off the edge in the near future.
