No. 2 – Who takes the baton at the defensive end spot?

You don’t simply lose a guy like Chase Young and not feel the pinch. Well, maybe not if you’re Ohio State. The Buckeyes have gone from Joey Bosa, to Nick Bosa, to Chase Young in succession to continue to churn out NFL caliber, game-wrecking defensive ends. Is there a next one waiting in the wings?
Former five-star target Zach Harrison seems like the likely guy to be that next eye-popping defensive end teams will have to game plan for, but there are others like Tyler Friday, Tyreke Smith, and fifth-year guy Jonathon Cooper who will all factor in. My money is on Harrison becoming a star, but either way, it should be another strength of the team.
