Ohio State football NFL Draft eligible players and likely landing spots

The 2020 NFL Draft is still almost three months away, but it’s never too early to look at where Ohio State football players will maybe go.

Sure First Round Picks

Chase Young – Defensive End

Young might be the most talented football player in the draft. He is a game-wrecker that demands a lot of attention unless you want him in your backfield all day. He set the single-season Ohio State record for sacks and someone’s going to be very happy to pick him up. He is unlikely to go as the top pick because the Cincinnati Bengals need themselves a QB. He’ll go quickly thereafter.

Projected: First round, top three — likely No. 2 overall to the Washington Redskins

Jeff Okudah – Cornerback

Okudah is widely considered to be the best defensive back in the 2020 draft and he’ll go extremely early. He is rangy, long, athletic and fast. He has all the makings of a No. 1 lockdown corner at the next level. The stats don’t jump out at you because hardly anyone threw his direction. He’s a good one though. Unless there’s movement at the top, he’s likely off the board very, very early.

Projected: First round, top five — could go No. 3 overall to the Detroit Lions
