NFL Mock Draft: Seven Buckeyes Selected in First Four Rounds
In this story:
The NFL Draft will be an eventful three days for the Ohio State Buckeyes, as nine players will hope to hear their names called throughout seven rounds.
A recent four-round mock draft from the NFL Network has projected Ohio State to have most of its prospects drafted within the first 115 picks. The NFL Network has seven of nine Buckeyes going in the first four rounds, meaning just two others will remain on the board for the later rounds.
At No. 1, the NFL Network has quarterback C.J. Stroud going to the Carolina Panthers, which isn't a surprise at this point as since trading up to the top spot, rumors have swirled that the former Buckeye is their favorite signal-caller in the class.
Stroud will be joined by left tackle Paris Johnson and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round, with Johnson going to the Green Bay Packers at No. 13, while the Los Angeles Chargers would select Njigba at No. 21.
Former starting right tackle Dawand Jones, center Luke Wypler, and defensive end Zach Harrison round out the Day Two Buckeye picks, as Jones goes to the Dallas Cowboys at No. 58, Wypler to the Houston Texans at No. 65, and Harrison at No. 102 going to the San Francisco 49ers.
Ronnie Hickman was the seventh former Ohio State player to go in the first four rounds, projected to be drafted by the New Orleans Saints.
