ESPN NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller released his predictions for the entire 2026 NFL Draft.

Miller’s seven-round mock draft features eight Clemson players overall, including three in the first round – defensive tackle Peter Woods, offensive tackle Blake Miller and cornerback Avieon Terrell.

Miller projects Woods to be selected by the Chicago Bears with the 25th overall pick.

“This isn’t a great interior defensive line class, but the Bears could check off their biggest roster need while picking a defender in Round 1 for the first time since 2018 (Roquan Smith),” Miller wrote. “Woods didn’t live up to his potential at Clemson, but scouts believe that he’ll be a better pro than college player. His physical tools are special, with first-step burst and overall strength that look like a high-end 3-technique starter. Woods could serve as Grady Jarrett’s understudy before taking a larger role in the future.”

Miller then projects Clemson’s Miller and Terrell to be taken with consecutive first-round picks (Miller to the Houston Texans at No. 28; Terrell to the Kansas City Chiefs at No. 29).

“Signing 30-year-old Braden Smith to a two-year contract solves Houston’s right tackle need for the moment, but the Texans’ plan to build a young (and inexpensive) offensive line around C.J. Stroud is still in place,” Miller wrote. “Miller started 54 college games at right tackle and improved every season, allowing only two sacks in 2025. With 34-inch arms and a strong base to block from, Miller profiles as a solid starter with higher-end potential as he develops his run-blocking talents.

“The Chiefs have a history of drafting and developing cornerbacks, just to watch them leave. This offseason, Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson departed for the Rams via trade and free agency, respectively. The McDuffie deal got Kansas City this pick, which it could use on Terrell. The younger brother of Falcons’ cornerback A.J. Terrell Jr. is similar to McDuffie in his ability to play inside or outside. Avieon Terrell had three interceptions at Clemson while allowing only 4.4 yards per attempt when targeted by opposing quarterbacks.”

In the second round, Miller has Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 46th overall pick, and Clemson wide receiver Antonio Williams going to the Philadelphia Eagles with the 54th overall pick.

“The Buccaneers’ current edge starters are Yaya Diaby and Al-Quadin Muhammad, a 31-year-old incoming free agent. The 6-foot-4, 263-pound Parker has length and strength at the point of attack. He might never be a double-digit sack player, but Parker is consistently solid on tape,” Miller wrote.

“Given the uncertainty surrounding A.J. Brown’s future with the team, it would be smart for the Eagles to draft a wide receiver somewhat early. The worst-case scenario has Williams working as the WR3 in 2026. He had 208 catches over four seasons with 21 touchdowns and is NFL-ready.”

Clemson defensive tackle DeMonte Capehart is projected to be drafted by the Detroit Lions in the fourth round (No. 128 overall pick).

Rounding out the Clemson players in Miller’s mock draft are running back Adam Randall and quarterback Cade Klubnik, both as fifth-round selections – Randall to the Miami Dolphins (No. 151 overall pick), and Klubnik to the Dallas Cowboys (No. 180 overall pick).

The 2026 NFL Draft will take place from April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.
