Daniel Jeremiah’s top five 2024 Big Ten NFL draft prospects

Daniel Jeremiah’s top five 2024 Big Ten draft prospects #GoBucks

It is NFL draft season and one of the most notable draft experts is Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com and the “Move the Sticks” podcast. Jeremiah is no doubt an expert in the field and I certainly consider him a must listen. He recently released his top 50 2024 NFL Draft prospects, but we only care about Ohio State football and the Big Ten here, so I wanted to isolate his top five Big Ten prospects on that list.

The NFL Draft starts on April 25th in Detroit, Michigan, which is almost three months away so it should be noted that these rankings could change the closer we get to showtime.

It should also be highlighted that rankings are not a mock draft and mock drafts include consideration for team slots, needs, and fits and these player rankings are just his top players overall. Now let’s dive into the top five Big Ten prospects that Jeremiah has ranked.

Ohio State’s rival quarterback, Michigan’s JJ McCarthy makes NFL decision

Is this what you expected? #GoBucks

It will alway be remembered that Ohio State football head coach [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] chose [autotag]Kyle McCord[/autotag] over [autotag]JJ McCarthy[/autotag], for obvious reasons.

McCarthy ultimately chose to attend rival Michigan, and took it personal when he played the school that passed him up during his recruitment. He was on the sidelines for three victories over the Buckeyes, and this past season led the Wolverines to a College Football Playoff national championship.

A big decision loomed in front of him, as he still had one year of eligibility remaining, but has chosen to forgo that season and enter the NFL draft. Many Buckeyes would liked to have one more shot at knocking McCarthy down, but that will now have to be at the next level.

Although he isn’t viewed as one of the top quarterback prospects in this coming draft, he will still be selected after a very impressive collegiate career.

Big Ten quarterbacks ranked by Total QBR at end of the regular season

How did Big Ten quarterbacks rank against each other at the end of the regular season in Total QBR? #B1G

Well, if you can believe it, the curtain has come down on the 2023 college football regular season. We have just the conference championship games and bowl season, including the College Football Playoff.

A total of 13 weeks have flown by and and we have a almost a whole season’s worth of data points and performances on Big Ten quarterbacks to see who did the best at the position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who threw for a decent number of yards, but had two costly interceptions that went a long way toward the Buckeyes falling to Michigan for the third straight year.

Just like every other week, there were Big Ten quarterback performances besides what we saw from McCord, and we like to keep track of how they are all doing when stacking them up against one another. In fact, we’ve done it every week so far this year.

The metric we like to use more than any other is ESPN’s Total QBR rating. We find it to be a better indicator of performance because it takes into account many aspects others don’t, including the level of competition.

So what is Total QBR exactly? According to ESPN, Adjusted Total Quarterback Rating “values the quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses faced.”

OK, we’re game.

So where are McCord and Big Ten gunslingers such as J.J. McCarthy of Michigan, Drew Allar of Penn State, Taulia Tagovailoa of Maryland and Gavin Wimsatt of Rutgers at the conclusion of the college football regular season? Believe it or not, McCord closed the gap on McCarthy as the season wore on, but how close did he come to taking that top spot?

Here’s how the order stacks up with Big Ten Total QBR as we head into conference championship week across this great nation of ours.

Can any of these Big Ten players make it to New York and potentially win the #Heisman? #B1G

It’s the most prestigious individual award in all of American sports, and nothing compares. The Heisman Trophy has a lore and mystique about it unmatched with other statues and trophies. So much so that you can find articles about Heisman favorites, dark horses, and more almost year-round.

Here at Buckeyes Wire, we try to track what’s going on because Ohio State usually has a player or two that is on the shortlist of players that could very well win the bronze statue on almost a yearly basis. And yeah, it’s no different this season with “Marvelous” Marvin Harrison, Jr. starting to rise up the Heisman odds.

But he’s not the only player in the Big Ten that might have a say in this thing. Spoiler; Ohio State and Michigan have all four players currently on the books. We’re here to tell you how things are going in the heartland, and soon to be the coast-to-coast conference.

Here is how Harrison Jr. and other Big Ten colleagues are tracking in the Heisman odds according to BetMGM after Week 11 of the 2023 college football season. We start from the player that’s barely on the radar to most likely to make his way to New York.

J.J. McCarthy’s lead is shrinking a bit at the top. #B1G

The sands in the hourglass are starting to run out of the 2023 college football season. There’s just a couple of regular seasons left, the conference championships, then bowl season complete with the College Football Playoff.

We are now 11 weeks in and we continue to get more data points with Big Ten quarterbacks to see who is doing the best at the position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who probably had his best work of the 2023 campaign against Michigan State in a game that was pretty much over at halftime.

Just like every other week, there were Big Ten quarterback performances besides what we saw from McCord, and we like to keep track of how they are all doing when stacking them up against one another.

The metric we like to use more than any other is ESPN’s Total QBR rating. We find it to be a better indicator of performance because it takes into account many aspects others don’t, including the level of competition.

So where are McCord and Big Ten gunslingers such as J.J. McCarthy of Michigan, Drew Allar of Penn State, Taulia Tagovailoa of Maryland and Gavin Wimsatt of Rutgers following Week 11 of the college football season? It’ll still be hard to close the gap entirely at the top, but the OSU gunslinger did move closer to No. 1.

Nonetheless, here’s how things stack up with Total QBR after another week of a very wild college football season in the Big Ten.

Big Ten quarterbacks ranked by Total QBR after Week 10: Can anyone reel in the top player?

Can anyone catch the guy on top of the Total QBR rankings? #B1G

The college football season continues to swiftly move along with just a few weeks left in the regular season.

Believe it or not, we are now 10 full weeks in, and we continue to get more data points with Big Ten quarterbacks to see who is doing the best at the position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who had a bit of an up and down performance on the road vs. Rutgers despite the win in a come from behind second-half effort.

McCarthy of Michigan, Drew Allar of Penn State, Taulia Tagovailoa of Maryland and Gavin Wimsatt of Rutgers following Week 10 of the college football season? It’s now becoming increasingly clear that one guy is separating from the pack with another the clear No. 2. And with only three games left in the regular season, it’s going to be awfully hard to reel in either.

Nonetheless, here’s how things stack up with Total QBR after another week of a very wild college football season in the Big Ten.

Big Ten quarterbacks ranked by Total QBR after Week 9: One player separates at the top.

Who’s on top of the Big Ten Total QBR rankings after Week 9? Was there any movement with Kyle McCord and his fellow conference brethren? #B1G

The college football season continues to swiftly move along with just a few weeks left in the regular season.

Believe it or not, we are now nine full weeks in, and we continue to get more data points with Big Ten quarterbacks to see who is doing the best at the position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who probably had his worst performance of the year at Wisconsin throwing two picks and losing a fumble, but he still did enough to notch another victory for his Buckeye brothers.

Just like every other week, there were Big Ten quarterback performances besides what we saw from McCord, and we like to keep track of how they are all doing when stacking them up against one another.

Big Ten quarterbacks ranked by Total QBR after Week 8: A two-horse race?

An updated look at where Ohio State’s Kyle McCord stacks up against other Big Ten quarterbacks in Total QBR rating. #GoBucks

The college football season continues to swiftly move along.

Believe it or not, we are eight full weeks into the regular season, and we continue to get more data points with Big Ten quarterbacks to see who is doing the best at the position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who had an up and down performance against Penn State, but did enough to lead his team to a win.

Just like every other week, there were Big Ten quarterback performances besides what we saw from McCord, and we like to keep track of how they are all doing when stacking them up against one another.

McCarthy of Michigan, Drew Allar of Penn State, Taulia Tagovailoa of Maryland and Gavin Wimsatt of Rutgers following Week 8 of the college football season? This rating still looks like a heat between two archrival schools — with one keeping the other at arm’s length as the sands of the hourglass continue to run out. But there’s still almost half of the season to go and a great many important and competitive matchups down the road.

Nonetheless, here’s how things stack up with Total QBR after another week of a very wild college football season in the Big Ten.

Big Ten quarterbacks ranked by Total QBR after Week 7: A runaway leader?

The college football season is flying along. Believe it or not, we are seven full weeks into the regular season, and we continue to get more data points with Big Ten quarterbacks to see who is doing the best at their position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who had a solid — not spectacular — game on the road against Purdue in a mighty impressive Buckeye victory.

Just like every other week, there were Big Ten quarterback performances besides what we saw from McCord, and we like to keep track of how they are all doing when stacking them up against one another.

But there’s still half of the season to go and a great many important and competitive matchups down the road.

Nonetheless, here’s how things stack up with Total QBR after another week of a very wild college football season in the Big Ten.

Big Ten quarterbacks ranked by Total QBR after Week 5: Clear separation at the top

Ohio State was off last week, but how did the performances of other Big Ten quarterbacks impact the rankings of each signal caller in Total QBR — including Kyle McCord? #B1G

We are five full weeks into the college football regular season, and we continue to get more data points with Big Ten quarterbacks to see who is doing the best at their position. That includes Ohio State football’s starter under center, Kyle McCord, who orchestrated a memorable game-winning drive over Notre Dame on Saturday before he and his teammates took the week off last Saturday.

McCarthy of Michigan, Drew Allar of Penn State, Maryland’s Taulia Tagovailoa and surprising newcomer, Gavin Wimsatt of Rutgers following Week 4 of the college football season? This thing still looks like it’s a heat between two archrival schools, but there’s still a long way to go.

Here’s how things stack up after another week of an already wild college football season in the Big Ten.
