It’s draft week on Real Pod Wednesdays.
As we’ve done every year since we started this podcast, we held an Ohio State football team draft this week, selecting 44 total players from the current roster – 11 on offense and 11 on defense each – to build lineups for a hypothetical matchup of Buckeyes vs. Buckeyes if they were to play each other this fall.
Through this exercise, we made our picks for who Ohio State’s most valuable players will be this year, based not only on their individual talent but also on the depth at their respective positions, which influenced how highly each player got drafted.
You can read through all of our picks, see the side-by-side lineups and cast your vote on who drafted the better team here, and you can listen to the podcast above – or at your podcast player of choice (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts) – to hear our real-time explanations and reactions as each of us made our picks.
