Three rounds in and four more to go today, where do Clemson's remaining NFL draft prospects stand?

Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is Clemson's top available prospect on ESPN, at No. 21, followed by Tyler Davis (51), Will Shipley (73) and Xavier Thomas (77).

By NFL.com's grades, Trotter is the best available LB, Davis is the fourth-best available DT, Shipley is the fourth-best available RB and Thomas is the sixth-best available EDGE.

PFF rated Thomas as a Top 100 prospect before the draft and expects him to go first among the Tigers on Saturday, at No. 115 overall to Cincinnati. He is expected to be joined in the picks by Trotter (No. 118 to Seattle; fourth round also), Shipley (No. 148 to Las Vegas; fifth round), and Davis (No. 160 to Buffalo; fifth round).

CBS Sports' fourth-round mock draft has Trotter going to Tampa Bay in the fourth round (No. 125).

Other pro hopefuls who look to land on an NFL roster one way or another going into training camp include Will Putnam, Sheridan Jones, Jalyn Phillips and Justin Mascoll.

Both of Clemson's picks so far have come on the defensive side, with No. 30 overall selection Nate Wiggins to Baltimore (first round) and No. 35 overall selection Ruke Orhorhoro to Atlanta (second round).
