Latest Clemson 1st-Round Projections from Kiper, Klatt, Jeremiah
Mock drafts are rolling out online ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, which is set to take place in Pittsburgh from April 23-25.
Longtime ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. is among those who have recently released a new mock draft — as are NFL Network draft guru/former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah and FOX Sports’ lead college football analyst, Joel Klatt, who has also been a contributor to NFL Network’s draft coverage in recent years.
Kiper, Jeremiah and Klatt all currently project at least two Clemson players to hear their names called in the first round. Kiper and Klatt each predict three Tigers to be taken in Round 1.
