Trayvon Mullen, Clemson

The Clemson Tigers are once again one of the best teams in college football, and all indicators are that they will be back in the College Football Playoff this season. The Tigers have the best defensive front in the land, as they have three potential first round picks there, but their secondary is nothing to scoff at as well.

One of the keys to this pass defense is cornerback Trayvon Mullen, who has gotten steadily better over the last three seasons. In 2018, he is having his best season of his career, and standing at 6-foot-2, and possessing great hands, he is a guy who could hear his name called late in the first round next April.

While that would be a bit of a stretch for Mullen, he should not fall much further than the end of the first round. If he does make it out of the first round, the Raiders would be wise to take a long look at him at the beginning of the second, where they possess the first overall pick. He is big, fast, and incredibly talented.
