Is LSU linebacker Whit Weeks a first round pick in Brugler's first 2026 mock draft?

LSU's Whit Weeks is projected to be one of the top linebackers in the 2026 NFL Draft, according to an early mock draft from The Athletic's Dane Brugler.

The reporter slots Weeks as the No. 25 overall pick to the Washington Commanders. He would be third linebacker taken behind Texas' Anthony Hill and Georgia's CJ Allen and the second Tiger behind quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.

"Weeks was a tackling machine for the Tigers last season and looked like a future early-round pick," Brugler said.

Weeks turned in a breakout sophomore season as he started all but two games and led the team with 125 tackles.
