DRAFT ANALYSIS:

Vikings could look back at this pick in a year or two and realize how much of a steal Clemmings was. Injury concerns pushed him down the board but Clemmings has the athleticism to develop into a staple at left or right tackle. --Mark Dulgerian

OVERVIEW

Started all 13 games at right tackle as senior and was named second-team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America and first-team All-ACC. Voted team captain his senior season. Started 13 games at right tackle his junior season after redshirting the year prior as he made the switch from defensive end to offensive tackle. Appeared in eight games at defensive end in both his sophomore season in 2011 and freshman season in 2010. Was rated No. 1 defensive end prospect in New Jersey by Scout.com, out of Paterson Catholic High School. Was a Division I prospect in basketball, too. 

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS

 Long, athletic frame. Former high school basketball player with great foot quickness. Moves like a tight end in space with an ability to zero in on targets and finish them in the screen game. Elite change-of-direction talent and knee bend. Can peel off his block to pick up a delayed blitzer. Snaps off twisting defender to guard and finds new assignment. Gets depth with smooth, fluid kick-slide and does a good job of mirroring. Can secure a shoulder and torque defender out of a run play. Hands carry jarring power. Explodes out of stance into defender. Has mean streak. Accelerates feet after contact and finishes. Has length and strength to redirect around pocket when beaten around the edge. Has the talent to make any block asked of him in the running game.

WEAKNESSES

 Weird haircut- nickname is "Chia Pet". Plagued with flatulence (see "Explodes out of stance" above)
