Ohio State football: 2021 Mock draft of Buckeyes 1.0

Trey Sermon had one of the best three-game runs that anyone has ever had at Ohio State. Unfortunately, his injury in the National Championship game de-railed his chances of being a high draft pick. The fourth round seems like a good spot for him to land.

The Indianapolis Colts would be a great spot for Sermon to end up. With Marlon Mack tearing his Achilles early in the year in 2020 in his contract-year, the Colts are unlikely to re-sign him. They need someone who can complement Jonathan Taylor.

Enter Sermon. Sermon has the ability to grab big chunks of yards and has breakaway speed when healthy. He won’t be the lead back so he can manage his load effectively. This will keep him fresh and free from injury.

The Patriots are in need of upgrades all over the field. In the sixth round, you’re not likely to find anyone who can seriously impact your depth chart. If Tommy Togiai were to fall to them though, that would be the best thing they could ask for.

Togiai is someone who can definitely impact the middle of the field. We saw how much the Ohio State football team missed him in the National Championship. Togiai is very strong and can push offensive linemen backward and that can help clog up running holes.

These are the last two prospects we see getting draft right now. Punter Drue Chrisman has a shot to get drafted late, as does linebacker Justin Hilliard. Once they both have online workouts, maybe they will jump onto more teams’ radar.

We will continue to do these mocks as Draft season gets closer!
