The Ohio State football program has the chance to see an NFL Draft for the ages. They could have as many as four players go in the top-10 of the draft, with three of them being on defense. Even after those elite players, some teams are going to be very lucky to get good Buckeyes later in the draft.
Now that the NFL Combine has finished, it's time to fire off some mock drafts. We will give you a mock draft for where all of the Ohio State Buckeyes will be drafted.
2. Jets- Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese is perhaps the most purely talented player in this draft. His physical talents are impressive, and he is extremely raw athletically. That talent makes him too enticing to pass up from the Jets in what is a really poor quarterback draft.
5. Giants- Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles had one of the most impressive NFL Combine performances in the history of Ohio State. That, along with the fact that New York just released Bobby Okereke, leads me to believe that they will take Styles to help rebuild the defense.
6. Browns- Carnell Tate
Cleveland desperately needs offensive playmakers. While they don't have an established quarterback, there isn't one available at this spot that makes sense. Tate would be a very good player for the Browns to bring in. He could help whatever quarterback ends up starting next year.
7. Commanders- Caleb Downs
Washington had the worst defense in the league last season, so why not bring in the smartest defensive player in the draft? Downs has Hall of Fame qualities as a player, even if safety isn't a high-value position. The Commanders simply need good defensive players.
27. 49ers- Kayden McDonald
The 49ers need to get younger on the defensive line. Nick Bosa is constantly hurt on the outside, and they need guys who can push the pocket up the middle. Kayden McDonald does exactly that, and he can stop the run, too.
47. Colts- Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun did an excellent job proving that he can defend without committing penalties in 2025. His physical brand of play-making is exactly what the Colts need, especially with Charvarius Ward considering retirement. Sauce Gardner will likely be out to start the season, too.
80. Ravens- Max Klare
Marc Andrews is constantly hurt, and he is getting older. Bringing in another tight end who can catch passes over the middle of the field is exactly what they can use. Max Klare is a great red zone target, and he's a better blocker than people give him credit for.
109. Chiefs- Caden Curry
Kansas City is starting to run into cap issues. The offense is no longer the juggernaut it was early in Patrick Mahomes' career. They have to get better defensively to offset that. Caden Curry is a great player who can come in and be part of their defensive line rotation right away.
6th-round pick- CJ Donaldson
This is a pretty loaded running back class, so it will be hard for Donaldson to stand out ahead of the rest. He is still a solid running back who will likely be a career backup.
7th-round pick- Lorenzo Styles
Lorenzo Styles' fast 40-yard dash time gave him a real shot to be drafted. His blazing speed gives him options to be a special teams contributor, which could put him on an NFL roster.
