How about all those 1st round draft picks coming out of Clemson last night?
After being released, a lot of fish die, but a lot of them live also.
I liked it. It means they stayed.

And, those Dabo built nap rooms are hard to come by in the NFL…
Wonder if they get into arguments over who has the top bunk, or gets to hear Dabo’s bedtime stories of greatness…

Clemson 2018 NFL draft notes
Clemson, S.C.— Former Clemson players Dorian O’Daniel, Deon Cain and Ray-Ray McCloud were all selected in the NFL draft over the last two days. All three helped Clemson to a 40-4 record, three ACC Championships, three College Football Playoff appearances and the 2016 National Championship over the last three years.
With the three selections, Clemson has now had 51 players selected since Head Coach Dabo Swinney became head coach in December of 2008. It is the 11th consecutive year Clemson has had at least three players selected in the NFL draft.
O’Daniel was the first Clemson player selected, as the graduate was the last selection of the third round by the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday evening, the 100th selection of the draft. He was the first Clemson player taken by the Chiefs since the 2008 draft when they selected Barry Richardson, who became a starter at offensive tackle for the franchise.
Getting in under the wire on Friday night was a good sign for O’Daniel. Sixty-nine of the 72 Clemson players selected in the top 100 of the draft have gone on to play in an NFL game.
O’Daniel led Clemson in tackles last year with 104, 72 first hits and 32 assists. He added 11.5 tackles for loss and five sacks. He also had two interception returns for touchdowns this season, the first Clemson defensive player to have two touchdowns in a season since Kourtnei Brown in 2011.
Cain and McCloud were selected in the sixth round with picks 185 and 187, respectively. Cain went to the Indianapolis Colts and McCloud went to the Buffalo Bills. It marked the first time since the 2009 draft that two Clemson players who played the same position were selected within two draft positions. That year safeties Chris Clemons and Michael Hamlin were taken with consecutive picks in the fifth round.
Cain is the first Clemson player taken by the Colts since T.J. Green was chosen in 2016. McCloud was the seventh Clemson player drafted by Buffalo since 2010 when C.J. Spiller was a first-round selection.
Is this true??
“Did Chad Morris have more players drafted from SMU than USCjr?”
Congrats to Hurst, hope he has a long and prosperous career.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

SMU had many as Clem (3), but SMU’s first pick was much higher…
I bet Hurst’s contract at #25 will be worth more than all three Clem draft picks combined. Sorta how Alshon, Stephon, and Jadaveon are prolly worth more than the entire Clem NFL roster combined… Need to start rating the NFL draft based off of contract dollars vs. number of picks… Kinda like how wicked tuna decides who wins the season based on total catch price, not catch quantity or pounds…

Yes, but what does that have to do with the quality of players?
NC State had 7 picks in the draft, how’d that work out for them against SCar, or Clem?
BTW, where is that heralded Clemson Ben BullShatware these days?
I stated this way before anyone else…

Well USCjr needed A LOT of luck to beat NCST after getting their stats doubled… They played a good game against Clemson. Something USCjr couldn’t claim.
And Clemson didn’t have a lot drafted because our best players (besides Dorian O’Daniel) all came back.
Want to bet on who has the best draft next year? I can guarantee it will be Clemson already.
Alshon 52M 27G
Gillmore 65M 31G
Clowney 22M 22G (Appears to be on his rookie contract still)
Watson 14M 14G (Also rookie contract, but has actually lived up to hype)
Hopkins 81M 49G
Watkins 48M 30G
Well I guess you were wrong again RBF. Less money and less guaranteed and I didn’t even need all of the Clemson players in the NFL… which Clemson has more of.

Looks like there is no USCjr for SCar since the football series is tied up, and the Real USC is on the winning streak…

Looks like Clem is the USCjr in the State of SC, and against the left coast USC…

Your spin is weak.
SC is more weak.
The only tradition SC has is a weak losing one.
