Pro Football & Sports Network (PFSN) released a new three-round 2026 NFL mock draft, which projects three Clemson players to be selected in the first round, and four to be taken among the top 63 picks in next spring’s draft.
Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods is a projected top-10 pick, going to the Cincinnati Bengals with the ninth overall selection.
“For all of Clemson’s struggles this season, Peter Woods has remained and consistently been a dominant force on the interior,” PFSN wrote. “He’s DT1, and the gap to DT2 is far larger than between DT2 and DT3.”
PFSN predicts Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell to be taken by the Las Vegas Raiders with the No. 23 overall pick.
“Las Vegas finally addresses its paltry CB room by bringing in Avieon Terrell, the younger brother of former Falcons first-rounder A.J.,” PFSN wrote. “The younger Terrell has posted three straight years of consistently solid tape. While the highs may not be as high as others, the lows aren’t nearly as low either.”
One pick later, PFSN’s mock draft has Clemson defensive end T.J. Parker going to the Buffalo Bills at No. 24.
“Joey Bosa has played well in limited snaps, but the Buffalo Bills need an injection of youth on the defensive line,” PFSN wrote. “T.J. Parker has the power and length to blow OTs back and force QBs up in the pocket or run around the outside.”
PFSN projects Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller to be a late second-round pick and go to the Los Angeles Rams with the 63rd overall selection.
“Clemson’s iron man up front, Blake Miller, has played over 3,000 career snaps as a four-year starter,” PFSN wrote. “At 6’6″, 315 with stellar flexibility and rare athletic traits, he’s a prototype for NFL zone schemes and flashes the kind of power and fluidity that make OL coaches drool.”
The 2026 NFL Draft will take place from April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.
Should the Tigers have three first-round picks as projected in this mock draft, Clemson would tie its record for players taken in the first round of an NFL Draft. That record came in 2019 when Clelin Ferrell (No. 4 to Raiders), Christian Wilkins (No. 13 to Dolphins) and Dexter Lawrence (No. 17 to Giants) were all selected in the opening round.
