We’re only a few days away from some real, live sports folks. It’s not a competition of the field, but this year’s version of the NFL draft that’s been must-see television for years now.
We’ll continue to see mock draft after mock draft speculating and projecting where players will go in 2020, and you know we’ll be on top of it. But ESPN’s Jeff Legwold isn’t doing things a little differently and just ranking prospects by the best available regardless of position or need.
In his top ranking of the top 100 prospects, Legwold has Ohio State well represented. Just for context, anyone in the top 100 would basically grade out through the first three rounds of the draft plus four picks. And in this case, the Buckeyes have five total players ranked by Legwold.

Here is what he says about each, including their overall ranking. Unlike most, he doesn’t have Chase Young as the best overall player, but at No. 2 behind Clemson’s Isaiah Simmons.
