Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane and Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier were among the contingent of NFL executives at Saturday's LSU-Alabama game.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported there were 17 teams, with a total of 25 representatives, at the contest featuring arguably the nation's two most talented teams.

Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has long been the presumed No. 1 overall pick and a potential target of the Dolphins, who have jettisoned nearly every impactful player from their roster in pursuit of a rebuild. LSU quarterback and Heisman frontrunner Joe Burrow has entered the fray at the top of the draft during a sensational season few saw coming.

Oregon's Justin Herbert and Georgia's Jake Fromm are also considered among the potential first-round picks at the position.

Burrow out-dueled a hobbling Tagovailoa on Saturday, leading LSU to a 46-41 win in Tuscaloosa. He accounted for 457 total yards (393 passing, 64 rushing) and three touchdowns, while Tagovailoa threw for 418 yards and four touchdowns while playing with a noticeable limp.

Of course, teams in attendance were there for far more than the quarterback play. Alabama wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III are considered first-round picks, and cornerbacks Xavier McKinney and Trevon Diggs, linebacker Dylan Moses and defensive lineman Raekwon Davis each have a chance to hear their name called on the first night.
