By now you already know that Ohio State players Chase Young and Jeff Okudah are locks to go early in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, but there are other Buckeyes maybe you didn’t know about that are also expected to be taken pretty high. Don’t worry, we have you covered by way of ESPN’s Mel Kiper and his 2020 NFL Draft Rankings.
According to the man with the hair and fast-talking scouting reports, there are five OSU players near the top of their positions.
We’ve already told you that defensive end Chase Young is the overall top prospect on Kiper’s big board. But in addition to that, he has Jeff Okudah as the top cornerback in the draft as well.
From there, J.K. Dobbins is considered the second-best running back available, just behind D’Andre Swift of Georgia. Those are the guys that will either go in the first round — or in Dobbins’ case — close to it.
In addition to that, DaVon Hamilton checks in as the No. 9 defensive tackle available in the draft. And not to be forgotten about, Malik Harrison is considered the No. 8 rated inside linebacker according to Kiper.
That makes five Buckeyes rated in the draft guru’s rankings, but there’s sure to be more taken in the draft. Guys like K.J. Hill, Jonah Jackson, and Jordan Fuller are also sure to have their name called somewhere in the midst of all the fun.
Get your popcorn and meat products, because it looks to be another good and entertaining showing for Ohio State in 2020 NFL Draft.
