We make our projections for every first-round pick and where every Ohio State prospect will end up in this year’s NFL draft.
Some draft analysts consider Hamilton to be the best player in the entire class. Seeing as Harrison Smith turned 33 in February and the Vikings are otherwise thin at safety, it would make a lot of sense for the Vikings to pair Hamilton with Smith to lead their secondary and add more playmaking ability to the back end of their defense.
With three Georgia defenders already off the board, I debated between three other Georgia defenders for the final pick of the first round, as Nakobe Dean won the Butkus Award as college football’s best linebacker in 2021 while fellow Bulldogs linebacker Quay Walker is also regarded as a potential first-round pick. Safety is the Lions’ more pressing need, though, and Cine’s hard-hitting tackling combined with his sub-4.4 40 speed makes him a potential game-changer.
While Olave and Wilson are Ohio State’s only likely first-round picks, there are five other Buckeyes who are projected to be drafted along with four Ohio State draft hopefuls who should at least get looks as undrafted free agents, and I’ve scoured the board to determine potential landing spots for each of them as well.
While it didn’t help his draft stock that he was unable to work out at the NFL Scouting Combine or Ohio State’s pro day due to a foot injury, there’s still plenty of chatter that NFL scouts like Ruckert, who could easily be a more productive receiver in an NFL offense that uses its tight ends in the passing game more frequently than Ohio State.
that the Vikings were among the teams that have expressed the most interest in him at the pre-draft process, and they’ll likely be looking to add pass-rushing depth this weekend. While he played defensive end at Ohio State, he has the athleticism to transition to playing outside linebacker in the Vikings’ new 3-4 defensive scheme.Although Teague isn’t widely projected to be drafted, hisat Ohio State’s pro day should ensure he’ll be scooped up quickly as an undrafted free agent.
