The 2018 NFL Draft is now in the rearview mirror and it’s time to look ahead to Clemson’s top prospects for the 2019 cycle.
Clemson was left without a first day draft pick this past weekend at the 2018 NFL Draft, but that is definitely going to change in 2019, as the Tigers present a handful of first round players on the current roster.
How deep is Clemson’s defensive line this coming season? Draft guru Walter Football has three members of that unit going in the Top-10 of the first round, with a fourth likely to hear his name called before the day ends.
Since Dabo Swinney took over the program, 53 Tigers have been selected in the NFL Draft, with several others signing as rookie free agents. Clemson has had at least three players selected each of the past 10 drafts.
Two years removed from winning the national title, and a season after advancing to a third consecutive College Football Playoff, the strength of Clemson is up front on both sides of the ball. And that’s where their Top-5 prospects sit in regards to the 2019 NFL Draft.
Here’s a look at who just might hear their name called in the first day next year.
