Who does Clemson have in the draft tonight?

Tonight is a family night for my entire family ... I say entire family - traditionally ... I have one son away in college and one in Afganistan - But my wife, daughter and I will have dinner in front of the TV watch the lifelong dreams of so many young men come true.
Tonight beats The Voice, American Idol, Survivor (combined) times 1,000,000 with the dreams that will be realized through hard work, dedication, and (sometimes) heartbreak.
Who from Clemson do we need to keep an eye out for? Sounds silly, but my family will tear up more than once tonight. Ain't America GREAT?

Love seeing who goes where ... also interested to see who trades up to get a higher pick. I know the Falcons are looking to move up. I also would love to see them pick up Lattimore in the 3rd. With two years of rehab this kid will be a treasure. SOS ruined this kid by running him so much. No freshman should ever run as much as he did in today's game. Then he did it to him the second time.

Even as a Clemson fan there were games where I wondered why he didn't run him more. For his career at usuc he averaged 19 carries per game(he also averaged 19 per game as a frosh). Were there some games where he had many more than that? Yes, but overall it wasn't bad.

Maybe not as bad as I thought, but still a lot.
Last year Ellington never went over 25 in one game. Gurley had 27 in one game. Lattimore went for 37 against UGA (hence my perception) and 40 against UF as a freshman. In 2011 he had another game at 37. In 2010 he averaged 22 per game (11 games), in 2011 he had 23 a game average in 7 games, and after coming back from his knee injury in 2012 he averaged 18 a game for 8 games.
You have to account for the games that he missed due to injury. These were hard, up the gut carries. Lots of hits ... most of which it took several hits to get him down. He was an impressive horse to watch.

I think Freeman can go 6th or 7th. I also think Rashard Hall will go in the 3rd or 4th as well. I think we should have 5 or 6 drafted this year overall.

Never heard a man tear up watching the draft before!
Saw one get ticked off when someone stole his draft while he went to the can.

Sounds corny ... I know ... But the pride I see from the fathers and mothers ... There are some really great stories of failures, hardships and perseverance. That's got to get your heart ticking ... lol.
Getting too sentimental in my "older" age. With my kids it tore me up to see them succeed. Sort of the same here ... you younger guys will not understand. I'm too old to find joy in anything else ... those things you look forward too would probably kill me today.

has a chance to be picked tonight and that would be late first round at best. U would never let my son play for the old ball sac! He cares NOTHING about the health of his players and we've seen it time after time!

Yup there were a couple games i watched where they threw the ball because Spurrier wanted to get his "offense" going.. but he didnt have a qb to do so.. Garcia was trash.. and now he has Shaw which aint really that much to sneeze at either outside of running the ball. terrible.
