3) Kevin Dodd, DE Clemson

When you think of Clemson pass rushers in this years’ draft, you think of Shaq Lawson who is a top 20 pick all day long. But people need to realize that he isn’t the only potential first-round pick from Clemson in this draft. Kevin Dodd, who lined up opposite of Lawson racked up 12 sacks and 23.5 tackles for a loss in his first season as a starter.

This is a player that made the most of his playing time and for that he has catapulted himself up draft boards and is at the very worst an early second-round pick. Maybe Lawson isn’t the former teammate of Vic Beasley lining up to rush the passer in 2016. Maybe that man is Dodd if Atlanta decides that they want to trade down.
