Mullen hopeful he can be Clemson’s 4th first-round pick

Most draft experts believe Clemson will have three players selected in Thursday’s first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Former defensive end Clelin Ferrell and defensive tackles Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence are all expected to hear their names called Thursday night in Nashville.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney thinks there might be one more.

“We got probably four guys that I think are first-round talents,” he said.

Potentially, the fourth guy is cornerback Trayvon Mullen. Experts believe the 6-foot-1, 199-pound corner is a second-round pick at best. Some mock drafts even have him going in the third round.
