Urban Meyer's Ohio State is one of the premier NFL pipelines in the nation. Here is a list of every draft pick – in selection order – of Meyer's tenure (2013-present), including the seven Buckeyes drafted this weekend.
ROUND 1
This weekend, Denzel Ward tied Ezekiel Elliott as Ohio State's second-highest draft selection since Urban Meyer took the reins of the program. One of six Buckeye first-round defensive backs in five years, Ward's selection further cements Ohio State's reputation as DBU. He is also Ohio State's most likely candidate for a Defensive Rookie of the Year three-peat (Bosa and Lattimore).
Billy Price became the second-highest drafted offensive lineman of the Urban era Thursday. A two-time captain, Price is a proven leader. The Rimington-Pace Award winner also holds the record for most consecutive starts (55) of any Buckeye in history, and he played three offensive line positions during his college career. He is expected to recover from a pectoral injury by the start of next season.

ROUND THREE
Jerome Baker will join former teammate Raekwon McMillan as a new member of the Dolphins' linebacker corp. Baker's sophomore season playing alongside McMillan was his best. He will hope to continue that success next season when McMillan returns from an injury.
Sam Hubbard, a lifelong Bengals fan, is headed home. Though he hoped to be drafted in the first or second round, he is excited to play for his favorite team. Hubbard will continue his working friendship with fellow captain Billy Price.
70. Pat Elflein (2017). Center, Minnesota Vikings.
73. Jerome Baker (2018). Linebacker, Miami Dolphins.
77. Sam Hubbard (2018). Defensive End, Cincinnati Bengals.
80. Adolphus Washington (2016). Defensive Tackle, Buffalo Bills.
85. Braxton Miller (2016). Wide Receiver, Houston Texans.
92. Jeff Heuerman (2015). Tight End, Denver Broncos.
94. Nick Vannett (2016). Tight End, Seattle Seahawks.
ROUND FOUR
Jalyn Holmes did not always start for Ohio State, but he was an integral member of one of the best defensive line rotations in the country. A big, versatile player who can play inside and out, he will likely contribute as a member of a similar rotation in Minnesota.
102. Jalyn Holmes (2018). Defensive End, Minnesota Vikings.
102. Joshua Perry (2016). Linebacker, San Diego Chargers.
121. Doran Grant (2015). Cornerback, Pittsburgh Steelers.
129. John Simon (2013). Defensive End / Linebacker, Baltimore Ravens.
139. Cardale Jones (2016). Quarterback, Buffalo Bills.
ROUND 5
Jamarco Jones will attempt to prove, as fellow lineman Corey Linsley did, that he was under-appreciated as a draft prospect. Jones had a subpar combine performance, but he was a stalwart of Ohio State's blocking game.
161. Corey Linsley (2014). Center, Green Bay Packers.
168. Jamarco Jones (2018). Offensive Tackle, Seattle Seahawks.
ROUND SIX
180. Michael Bennett (2015). Defensive Tackle, Jacksonville Jaguars.
187. Evan Spencer (2015). Wide Receiver, Washington Redskins.
ROUND SEVEN
Buckeyes, most notably Damon Webb, were absent from the later round of the draft. Webb was projected to go as early as the third round, but ultimately signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent. Fellow #BIA member Marshon Lattimore tweeted that Webb was disrespected.
