We may be on a serious hiatus while the nation and world grapples with the COVID-19 health crisis, but the 2020 NFL draft is still happening in late April. It’ll definitely look a little different than the dog and pony show we’ve seen in the past, but it’s still on for now.
Because of that, we’re seeing a slew of NFL draft experts weigh in on numerous mock drafts, sleepers, and overrated talents. It seems like almost daily we get another one.
FOX’s Joel Klatt has taken another tact and simply listed his top fifty players for the upcoming draft, and Ohio State is well represented. In fact, he has four players among the top fifty, which, if simply going by best available, would result in four Buckeyes taken in the top two rounds. It doesn’t exactly work that way of course, but still speaks for talent coming out of Columbus.
So who are the four players? As you would guess, Chase Young and Jeff Okudah are high up. Young is Klatt’s No. 1 overall player and Okudah isn’t far behind at No. 4.
The other two Ohio State players include running back J.K. Dobbins at No. 31 and cornerback Damon Arnette at No. 40.

With the NFL draft being the only sports coverage in town right now, April 23-25 should be a hoot.
