ACC programs could have quiet first round per NFL mock drafts
The Atlantic Coast Conference certainly had a down year from a football standpoint last season and the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft may be just another example of why. Clemson, an annual powerhouse in the league, fell short of the usual expectations, though there were some positive signs from programs like Florida State and Duke.
As we go forward, the infusion of talent from some new coaches and the transfer portal should bear more first-round fruit. For now, we’re looking at a draft class in which the ACC may only have three or four players selected in the first 31 picks.
