ESPN’s Jordan Reid has Clemson all over his final 2026 mock draft
Clemson is very well represented in Jordan Reid’s final mock draft for the 2026 NFL draft.
Momentum is building ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, and Clemson football could hear its name called early and often if ESPN analyst Jordan Reid is on the right track. In his final seven-round projection, Reid maps out a strong showing for the Tigers , with eight players coming off the board within the first 195 picks. The breakdown spans the entire draft board, starting with a pair of first-round selections and continuing with contributors in nearly every round through Day 3.
At the top, offensive lineman Blake Miller is positioned as Clemson’s earliest selection. Reid connects him to the Cleveland Browns at No. 24 overall, a landing spot that makes sense given Cleveland’s issues in pass protection.
Miller’s long track record as a starter and his physical style could allow him to step in right away on the edge. Right behind him, edge defender T. J.
Parker is forecast to go No. 25 to the Chicago Bears. While his season had some quiet stretches, his pre-draft work helped rebuild momentum.
