Ohio State football: 2021 Mock draft of Buckeyes 1.0
By Ryan Stano
There are several members of the Ohio State football team that are looking to get drafted this year. Here is where we see them ending up as of now.
The Ohio State football program always puts a lot of players in the NFL. Not only is that true, but the quality of players they have put in the Draft in recent years is very high. Everyone knows just how good this program is and how prepared these kids are to play at the next level.
2021 is no different. There are plenty of quality Buckeyes who are coming out this year. There will be Buckeyes taken from top to bottom in this draft. There could be as many as three Buckeyes taken in the first round this year. Plenty more will come in the second and third round.
We will do a few of these before the Draft starts in late April. This first mock is based on the chatter that is out there in addition to moves that teams have made up to this point. Things will certainly change between now and the time that we do our second mock.
This mock is also intended to forecast where we think these players will go instead of where their best fit is. Those are two different things. Our first guy, Justin Fields, would be better off going elsewhere than where we think he goes now.
We take a look at Fields first and will move through the other guys that we believe could be first-round picks and where they may end up.
