NFL.com’s top NFL Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah released his most recent mock draft on Tuesday.
Jeremiah predicted two Tigers to hear their names called in the first 31 picks, with one joining two other former Clemson stars.
Defensive end Myles Murphy was the first Tiger selected in Jeremiah’s mock, falling to the Detroit Lions at pick No. 6. Former Tiger Austin Bryant is currently a rotational piece on the Lions’ defensive line.
“Aidan Hutchinson was a home run pick last year, and fellow rookie James Houston IV was very productive in limited playing time,” Jeremiah wrote. “Murphy would give the Lions three outstanding young edge rushers.”
In 27 starts over three seasons at Clemson, Murphy recorded 139 tackles, 37 tackles for loss, 17.5 sacks, six forced fumbles and six pass deflections.
The next Tiger off the board was fellow defensive lineman Bryan Bresee, who was mocked to the Jacksonville Jaguars at pick No. 24. The Jaguars already have three former Clemson players in quarterback Trevor Lawrence, running back Travis Etienne and center Tyler Shatley.
“Bresee battled through adversity at Clemson,” Jeremiah wrote. “I believe the former No. 1 overall recruit’s best football is still ahead of him.”
Despite numerous injuries, Bresee racked up 64 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, nine sacks, four pass deflections, a forced fumble and an interception in 21 starts for the Tigers.
The 2023 NFL Draft is scheduled to take place in Kansas City, Missouri, from April 27-29.
