6. Dexter Lawrence

Look boys and girls. It’s that other defensive tackle from Clemson. Lawrence and Wilkins were part of a defensive line that some called the greatest defensive line in the history of college football before the season began.

As the season went on, Lawrence did his part to corroborate that argument as he put up 36 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and three batted balls from the defensive tackle position. He, like his teammate, figures to go late in Round 1 or early in Round 2.

7. Jerry Tillery

At six-foot-six and 295 pounds, it seems all Tillery would have to do is stand up and put his hands straight up in the air to destroy passing lanes. His motor was on display all year long as he racked up 30 tackles, eight sacks, and three forced fumbles.

Look for his name to be called on the draft’s second day.
