Ohio State Shatters NFL Draft Records Again—But What’s Behind the Unbelievable Surge?
Other teams that made the playoffs last season looked to the Buckeyes early in the draft, hoping to solidify their ambitions with a high-level performer. The Minnesota Vikings took All-American offensive lineman Donovan Jackson with the No. 24 selection, and the Detroit Lions grabbed star defensive tackle Tyleik Williams four picks later. The Kansas City Chiefs snatched left tackle Josh Simmons, who suffered a torn patellar tendon in October, to close out the first round.
The weekend remained lively for Columbus, as terrific running backs Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson went within three picks of each other early on Day 2. Three-time First-Team All-Big Ten selection J.T. Tuimoloau (defensive end) went at No. 45, while linebacker Cody Simon, safety Lathan Ransom, edge rusher/ heart-and-soul guy Jack Sawyer, DT Ty Hamilton, cornerbacks Jordan Hancock and Denzel Burke and QB Will Howard were all Day 3 picks.
