Clemson Tigers offensive tackle Blake Miller has received a major draft prediction after starting for four years.
Clemson Tigers star Blake Miller has emerged as one of the top right tackles in the 2026 NFL Draft. Miller's draft stock has continued to rise over the last few months and will now likely be one of the first tackles taken off the board.
In CBS Sports' latest mock draft, Miller lands with the Dallas Cowboys with the 20th overall pick.
Miller would add to the Cowboys' offensive line, as they currently have Terence Steele at right tackle, who struggled in the 2025 season. Steele was solid in the run game, but was underwhelming in pass protection.
He agreed to a contract restructure with Dallas, which shows they are still committed to him, but they could still look at adding a long-term tackle in the draft if they don't believe Steele will improve as a pass protector.
Miller's pass protection would be an upgrade over Steele, and he is still solid in the run game.
At Clemson, Miller immediately started and held the role for his entire collegiate career. With 54 games of starting experience, Miller should be an impact player immediately in the NFL.

Head coach Dabo Swinney has a tall task ahead to turn Clemson around in the 2026 season. The Tigers had a very disappointing 2025 campaign, finishing with a 7-6 record.
They entered the season as contenders to win the National Championship, but didn't reach the College Football Playoff or even the ACC Title Game.
Swinney now has to replace talented players like Miller while also getting better results on the field.
Swinney may not have a more talented roster in 2026. As a result, he will rely on the changes he made to the coaching staff, bringing in Chad Morris as the offensive coordinator and Rich Bisaccia as the special teams coordinator.
Swinney and the Tigers will be looking to improve next season, while Miller could be an impact player in year one for an NFL team.
