Five Buckeyes featured in latest Draft Wire mock

It isn’t a new revelation to see the Ohio State Buckeyes well represented when it comes to the NFL draft. Last year the NFL drafted two receivers in the first round. Heading into the 2022 college football season, there are three players currently projected to go in the first round.

Most eyes will be watching No. 7 every time he takes the field. Alongside Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud is among the top quarterbacks available. If last year’s class was a poor quarterback class, teams who waited could hit the jackpot with either passer.

Stroud could not only be the No. 1 player selected in the draft, but he could also bring home the Heisman Trophy. His passing target Jaxon Smith-Njigba is another player to keep a close eye on. Both could be top five selections come April.

Draft Wire featured a total of five Ohio State Buckeyes in their latest two-round mock draft.
