McShay Predicts Clemson to Have No. 1, No. 2 Overall Picks
Instead of a “Way-Too-Early” Mock Draft, NFL Draft expert and former ESPN analyst Todd McShay released his “Appropriately Early” 2026 Mock Draft on Friday.
McShay’s latest mock draft is loaded with Clemson stars at the top.
He projects four Tigers to be selected in the first round, with all four coming off the board among the top 14 overall picks, including three in the top seven — and the top two overall picks.
McShay projects Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik to be the No. 1 overall pick by the Cleveland Browns, which would make him the second Clemson player to be drafted first overall, joining Trevor Lawrence in 2021.
