There are seven ACC players ranked among the first-round NFL draft picks in Todd McShay's first 2010 mock first round. ACC fans will be happy to know that's one more player than the SEC has. The bad news for ACC fans? All but two of these guys -- Clemson's C.J. Spiller and Ricky Sapp -- are juniors. Of the juniors listed, only UNC's Bruce Carter has said he is coming back.
Here is how the ACC fared in McShay's mock first round:
Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech, No. 7 to Oakland Raiders
Bruce Carter, LB, UNC, No. 18 to Jacksonville Jaguars
Bruce Campbell, OL, Maryland, No. 20 to New York Jets
Ricky Sapp, DL, Clemson, No. 23 to New England Patriots
C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson, No. 26 to Green Bay Packers
Marvin Austin, DT, UNC, No. 27 to Cincinnati Bengals
Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech, No. 29 to San Diego Chargers
