Ohio State Football: Best landing spots for top Buckeyes in NFL draft
The Ohio State football team continues to produce top NFL talent year in and year out. Here are some ideal landing spots for the top Buckeye prospects.
The NFL Draft is right around the corner and Ohio State football players are ready to take center stage. Chase Young and Jeff Okudah are predicted to be top five draft selections and as many as 14 former Buckeyes can be picked in this years NFL Draft.
For the top prospects, there are some ideal landing spots with NFL clubs. Here are where some of the top Buckeye prospects would perfectly fit into an NFL system.
No. 12: Austin Mack, WR: Miami Dolphins
Austin Mack is going to be a borderline draft pick in this draft. Mack is solid, not spectacular at skills needed by a wide receiver. Mack’s fit with the Dolphins is ideal because he would get grouped in with a bunch of young talented players with an opportunity to prove himself.
No. 11: Jashon Cornell, DT: New England Patriots
Jashon Cornell was as solid of a player as you can ask for last season for the Buckeyes. Believe it or not but the defensive tackle rotation was the backbone of this defense for Ohio State and Cornell was a major reason for its success with his strength and run stuffing abilities.
No. 10: Davon Hamilton, DT: San Francisco 49ers
Davon Hamilton is one of the most underrated players coming into this draft. With the size and mobility that NFL teams look for in an interior lineman, look for Hamilton to be selected earlier rather than later, as Hamilton would be an excellent fit to pair with former teammate Nick Bosa.
No. 9: Bin Victor, WR: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Bin Victor had a very productive Ohio State career but he always left you wanting more. With 18 career touchdowns, Victor is an ideal red zone target. That could be a nice role for him to play with Tom Brady now becoming a Tampa Bay Buccaneer.
