The Ohio State football factory hasn't stopped ma s production since Ryan Day took over as head coach.The Buckeyes have 29 NFL Draft picks combined through the last three drafts, and they will add
Jarrod Dyson Jersey to that number April 28-30 at the 2022 NFL Draft in Las Vegas.There is a twist in this year's draft. Ohio State likely will have a pair of receivers taken in the first round in Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. The last time that happened was in 2007 with Ted Ginn Jr. and Anthony Gonzalez.That is part of another crop of Buckeyes' destined to have succe s at the next level. SN's Vinnie Iyer projects in the 2022 NFL Draft.Here is a closer look at where each player might land:NFL Ohio State mock draft 2022 Chris Olave, Wide receiverCommanders, No. 11 overall, first roundOlave and Wilson are considered among the safest first-round bets, and they were among the eight receivers who ran sub-4.4 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. Olave is a precise route runner who caught a TD every five catches at Ohio State. He averaged 15.4 yards per catch. He had a string of eight straight games with a TD catch last season. He did have a 63.1% catch percentage, which feels like it
Alex Avila Jersey could be a little bit better. Olave, however, should be able to establish a connection with any quarterback, and it won't be a surprise if a team trades up to grab him in the top 10. Garrett Wilson, Wide receiverSaints, No. 16 overall, first roundWilson has the most superstar upside of any receiver in the draft. The five-star recruit lived up to expectations, and he finished with 70 catches for 1,058 yards and 12 TDs as a junior. The 6-0, 192-pound receiver ran a 4.38 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. He had a better catch percentage than Olave at 68%. Sean Payton loved drafting Ohio State players when he was the coach of the Saints. Dennis Allen will follow that trend, and Wilson will have a mentor in Michael Thomas. It's a win-win for New Orleans. Nicholas Petit
Jake Lamb Jersey -Frere, TackleRavens, No. 45 overall, second roundFrere was the top-ranked tackle in his recruiting cla s, and he developed after redshirting in 2018. Petit-Frere started one season at right tackle and one season at left tackle, and that experience could pay off at the next level. The 6-5, 315-pounder is an outstanding pa s blocker who performed well at the NFL Combine. There are four tackles projected to go in the first round. Petit-Frere is lumped in the second round with Zion Johnson and Bernhard Raimann. Jeremy Ruckert, Tight endVikings, No. 77 overall, third roundRuckert is a 6-5, 250-pound tight end who has outstanding hands. That size can create mismatches in the seams, and he caught 12 TDs on 53 receptions the last three seasons for
Robbie Ray Jersey the Buckeyes. That included a few highlight-reel one-handed catches. He's a solid blocker, and part of a group of second-day tight ends that could learn from Tyler Conklin in Minnesota. This would be a solid landing spot. Thayer Munford, GuardTexans, No. 107 overall, fourth roundMunford is a ma sive interior at 6-foot-6 and 320 pounds. He was a four-year starter for the Buckeyes, and he has experience at left guard and left tackle. He opted to return for his senior season, and his value might have slipped a little bit. He will be drafted as a guard but could end up at tackle in Houston. Haskell Garrett, Defensive tackleRavens, No. 110 overall, fourth roundGarrett is one of the feel-good stories of the draft. Garrett was shot in the face in 2020 while trying to break up a fight, but he managed to return and emerged as a team leader on defense for the Buckeyes the last two seasons. He had 5.5 sacks and seven tackles for lo s from the interior for Ohio State last season, and the 6-2, 300-pounder ran a 5.07 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. There is top-end defensive tackle talent in this draft, and Garrett is capable of playing at that level. He'll fit in with the Ravens, even if that means playing for former Michigan defensive coordinator Michael Macdonald. Tyreke Smith, Edge rusherBrowns, No. 118 overall, fourth roundSmith was a situational pa s rusher for the Buckeyes, and he totaled three sacks in his senior season. Smith has the measurements at 6-3, 265 pounds, and he was developed by defensive line coach Larry Johnson. He's from Cleveland Heights High School. The Browns
Paul Goldschmidt Jersey grab the local talent and add depth to their defense.
