I’ve seen Mock Drafts project Clemson QB, DE and DT to possibly all be picked in the Top 6 to Top 10 picks in the 2026 Draft.

Their CB also projected to be a 1st rounder.

Clemson is good team but Tigers can win if the Offensive Line and Defensive Secondary play very well !!!

People on this board will dismiss your point because of the average high school ranking of the entire roster.

Dabo perfected NIL 10 years ago.

Anyone playing attention knows that Clemson is probably the best team we play in the regular season.

If only 4-5 players are really good, and the other 17-18 are only alright, we should still have a chance. There is much more to a “team” than just a few individual players…

2 or 3 of their WRs, MLB, and the other corner will also be 1st rounders in 27. The other DT is also a potential 1st rounder. The only "weakness" is the OL and they're all 4/5th year returning starters, but outside of that this might be the most talented team Dabo's ever had. Why they're not being talked about as the obvious run away favorite to win the NC is baffling

What about the WR that they had to move to RB that has 4 career carries?

According to you, Clemson has 10 first round picks. Do you realize how asinine that sounds?

Clemson has recruited very well under Dabo. They always have a team full of talented players.

However, football is a team sport, so we shall see...

They must have been the worse coached defense in America last year finishing in the 80s against the run with all that talent.

Correct, they only have around 5 legit first round picks at this point (at least for the 2026 draft).

(LSU has 2.)

They run the air raid, he was moved to RB to have an elite receiver at that position and they'll probably use him like Percy Harvin

Klubnik will likely go #1 overall
Woods is the #1 DT
Parker is the #1 DE/edge
Terrell is the #2 CB
Williams is the #2 WR
Capehart is a 1st in several mocks

Moore and Wesco are projected to be mid to late 1st rounders in 2027, Sammy Brown will be the 1st LB drafted and Hampton is also a projected late 1st rounder. So ya, that's 9-10 1st rounders

Let’s have a ban bet. Set the line at 8.5. I’ll take the under.

Alabama used to have at least 4-5 players projected as 1st round picks every preseason. It hardly ever came to fruition. It’ll be the same with Clemson. Preseason projections don’t mean much.

The record is six so they are going to blow that out of the water. Kiper has 5 of them going in the 1st. Walterfootball has 4, while predicting LSU will have 3.
