Two Tigers land on 'favorite picks' of NFL draft rounds
May 3, 2023, 3:58 PM
NFL.com draft analyst Chad Reuter has two Clemson selections among his favorites from the 2023 NFL draft.
Baltimore's selection of Trenton Simpson was in his Round 3 favorites:
"Simpson might not be the most instinctual linebacker in this draft class, but his ability to track down ball-carriers in the open field was not overlooked by the Ravens. He also has enough size to be an effective blitzer or even line up on the edge -- just like Micah Parsons does in Dallas. In time, he'll be a star."
The Los Angeles Chargers pick of Jordan McFadden was among his top of Round 5:
"General manager Tom Telesco grabbed former Georgia offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer last year in the sixth round, then watched him succeed as a rookie. McFadden is another short but sturdy lineman who has the length (34-inch arms) and solid build to handle tackle duties if needed, but will likely kick inside at the next level."

They want to keep that violent mystique of that Raven defense alive and well.
I'm just really excited to see how well J McFadden will do with my favorite NFL team the Chargers. I need to be excited about something with them..... for I have suffered so much. 😣
