Predicting Where Each Buckeye Will Land in the 2025 NFL Draft

The 2025 NFL draft is just one day away, and there are at least 15 reasons to be excited if you’re an Ohio State fan.Ohio State is projected to have 15 players drafted, which would break its school record and tie Georgia’s record for the most players selected in a seven-round NFL draft. It’s not out of the question that Ohio State could have as many as 17 players drafted, and we talk about all 17 of the Buckeyes’ draft prospects on this week’s Real Pod Wednesdays.In the first half of our NFL draft preview episode, we build our own five-man Buckeye draft squads in which we draft Ohio State players from five different tiers based on their average mock draft position.After that, we make our picks for the Eleven Warriors NFL Draft Contest, in which we predict which round each Buckeye will be drafted in. One of us has four Buckeyes going in Round 1 while the other has only two, but both of us expect at least seven Ohio State players to be drafted in the first two rounds and nine total Buckeyes to be drafted in the first three rounds. We’re both also expecting each of Ohio State’s 15 projected draftees to come off the board no later than the sixth round.The full rundown for our NFL draft preview edition of RPW:0:00 Ohio State’s 2025 NFL Draft Class Has Something for Everyone5:54 Building Our Five-Man Buckeye Draft Squads21:44 The Most Underrated Prospects in Ohio State’s 2025 NFL Draft Class25:28 Who We Would Select If We Could Only Draft One Buckeye28:10 Predicting Which Buckeyes Will Go In the First Round35:29 Second-Round Predictions41:31 Third-Round Predictions47:00 Why We Both Think Four Buckeyes Will Go in Round 452:27 Fifth- and Sixth-Round Predictions
