It was only a matter of time. After this historic performance at the NFL Combine in February, Notre Dame wide receiver Chase Claypool is popping up into the 1st round of mock drafts from well known NFL Draft Experts. Most recently, ESPN’s Mel Kiper, the godfather of NFL Draft experts, has Claypool being selected in the first round. It’s about damn time.
Kiper has Claypool getting selected at the end of the 1st round, going 30th overall to the Green Bay Packers. The full mock draft is an ESPN premium article, so we won’t share exactly what Kiper says about Claypool’s chances of being selected by the Packers, but you can imagine that landing in Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball would be a pretty ideal landing spot.
