If any player is a guaranteed first rounder or a high second rounder, they should go in the draft every time.


Agreed.

Steve Spurrier would basically encourage guys to declare early if they were projected as a high draft pick. It is foolish to play another year in college.

They better be careful in the GA Tech game. Those cut blocking shits will ruin a career.

All of them (save Lawrence who is a sophomore) received 2nd-3rd round grades.

Everyone saying they were locks for the first round are off base.

Sure some of the draftniks projected 1st round for some of them, but that is not what the draft advisory board provided them with.

I think our two DEs are more likely to improve their stock from 2nd rounder to 1st rounder... Smart decision on their part. Wilkins had little to gain from coming back. His teamate will get picked over him next year (Lawrence) and DT is deeper next year, and best case for him is mid 1st round.

add in the players from this years recruiting class, may be the best position group in the country.

Loaded is an understatement

Jonathan Allen wasn't a top 10 possible draft pick, was he? I thought his first eligible draft had him lower 1st round?

Wilkins was a top 10 talent according to some. Ferrell was what? 10-20?
A year out from the draft I'm pretty sure Allen was reported as potentially being drafted in the top 10.

Now a ton of stuff that far out is just for clicks and shite, but Allen returning was HUGE.

Why did Foster and Allen return that year?




Allen was mid to bottom 1st Round. I thought.

Foster was bottom 1st Round and still ended up getting picked very late in the 1st but that was due to character concerns and injured shoulder.

First of all, that's false.

Second, those Clemson beheamouths have been tossing aside our sorry-arse excuse for blockers now for 3 straight years. It's almost comical how we literally have zero chance to win those games. I don't think that they are at all concerned about our blocking.

I always at the amount of first rounders every year. Seems like there are 60 something first round players even though there are only 32 picks. If there are 3 or more people better than you in the draft you might want to come back and get better.

Very few people are considered 1st round locks. However, Kiper did have Ferrell & Wilkins 8th & 9th on his big board. Sauce.

While they may not go 8th or 9th, I'd argue that they'd have more cushion to fall than some other players that are coming out.

Clemson is gonna be spooky next season. Any chance Trevor Lawrence gets the starting job? Kelly Bryant as a passer doesn't scare me, though he could always improve. Lawrence, if he hits and doesn't bust, running that offense wit that defense setting him up... Clemson would easily go 13-0 en route to the playoffs. Easily.

ETA: And they add Xavier Thomas and KJ Henry, two top 8 players in the rankings that play on the DL. FFS that could be the best college DL we've ever seen

Y'all need to slow the preseason hype train down.

Bama is stocked with more talent 1-85 than anyone including Clemson. Clemson should be really good with the pieces returning, but unless Kelly Bryant becomes a much better passer or someone better wins the job from him we will see the same result as this year.

You’re welcome

If I was a Clemson fan I’d get this out on a shirt with DL’s heads photoshopped in and Dabo’s J.J. Dillon’s



Hell I may just do it anyway.
