The wait is nearly over. Draft night has arrived, and the 2026 NFL Draft is set to get underway, bringing with it the usual mix of anticipation and uncertainty as teams finalize their plans.

Around the league, front offices are preparing for a night that can reshape rosters in a matter of minutes. Whether it’s expected picks or last-second surprises, the opening round always delivers moments that define the direction of franchises.

For Clemson, Thursday night comes with real intrigue.

Several Tigers are in position to hear their names called early, continuing the program’s steady presence on draft night. Offensive tackle Blake Miller enters as one of the most experienced linemen available after starting for four seasons, offering the kind of consistency teams look for up front.

On the defensive side, Peter Woods brings a different kind of appeal. His production hasn’t fully matched his potential yet, but the tools are there, and teams looking to invest in upside along the interior could view him as a strong option.

Edge rusher T.J. Parker is another name to watch as the first round takes shape. His physical style and ability to impact the pocket have pushed him into late first-round conversations, giving Clemson a chance to have multiple players selected on opening night.
