Christian Wilkins at the last moment announced he will not participate in the draft joining 2 other potential first rounders who will play for Clemson again next year.
| On Saturday, defensive line mates Clelin Ferell and Austin Bryant announced that they’d be returning next season, and they’ll be joined again by rising junior tackle Dexter Lawrence, which will potentially give the Tigers the nation’s most formidable defensive front in the nation in 2018. |
That's quite a leg up.

but cost of living in South Carolina isnt bad, so they'll be ok.
Wilkins got an early second round grade, as did Ferrell. Bryant got a late 2nd early 3rd

I'm guessing he would have been a first round pick, hope he stays healthy this year.

Where did you see that? Every mock I've seen had Ferrell and Wilkins going in the first.

People in the Clemson program and I work for an agent.
The D Linemen needed some finishing, and should be 1st rounders next year.
The other defensive ends should be able to benefit greatly from another year.
