3 questions for LSU's defense heading into spring practice

This is an annual question at LSU.

While running back Leonard Fournette gets the most attention among LSU players leaving for the NFL, there's a boatload of talent to replace on the defensive side.

The Tigers lost Tashawn Bower, Davon Godchaux and Lewis Neal along the line, Duke Riley and Kendell Beckwith at linebacker and two defensive backs deemed by coach Ed Orgeron to be first-round NFL Draft talents -- cornerback Tre'Davious White and safety Jamal Adams.

Six of those seven players spent part of the last week at the NFL Scouting Combine, stamping each as among the most talented departing college players in the country.
