It’s time to make our predictions for where each Buckeye will land in the 2022 NFL draft.
On this week’s episode of Real Pod Wednesdays, we preview the NFL draft by making predictions for which teams we think Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson will land with on Thursday night, what rounds we think Nicholas Petit-Frere, Jeremy Ruckert, Thayer Munford, Haskell Garrett and Tyreke Smith will be selected in (with more specific predictions coming from Dan later Wednesday on Eleven Warriors) and whether Master Teague, Antwuan Jackson, Demario McCall or Chris Booker could sneak into the draft.
We also make our personal picks (starting at 27:45) for which Buckeyes we’d be most confident drafting if we were NFL general managers and share some overall thoughts on this year’s Ohio State draft class, including what it says about the talent that will be returning to the Buckeyes in 2022.
As for the 2022 Buckeyes, we also learned this week about some players who won’t be returning to Ohio State this fall – namely Noah Potter, Andre Turrentine and Marcus Hooker – and we discuss (beginning at 34:25) what to make of the latest wave of transfer portal entries as Ohio State sits below the 85-scholarship limit for the first time this year.
It was also another busy week for Ohio State men’s basketball, as Sean McNeil committed to the Buckeyes and Seth Towns announced his return for a seventh year, and we discuss (starting at 49:05) what the Buckeyes will need from both of them during the 2022-23 season as well as what they will do with the one roster spot they’re expected to have left.
