10. CB Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke's length, size, and ball skills make him an intriguing prospect for the NFL Draft. His ability to mirror routes and break up passes at the catch point makes him effective in both man and zone coverage. I see Burke as a second or third-round pick in April.

1. OT Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons is ranked as one of the top offensive linemen in the upcoming NFL Draft. At 6'5" and 310 pounds, Simmons' size, arm length, and versatility are evident in his ability to excel at both left and right tackle positions.

2. WR Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka had a fantastic senior season with the Buckeyes and is projected as a first-round talent in this year's NFL Draft. Egbuka uses his quickness for clean breaks at the top of routes and has elite spatial awareness when working against zone coverage. He will be a steal for whatever team takes him.
3. DE Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer became a household name after his historic run with the Buckeyes. He’s seen his stock rise fast, potentially as far up as the first round. Sawyer has a high motor and relentless effort, consistently chasing down quarterbacks and running backs and never quitting on plays.
4. RB TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson has emerged as an electrifying NFL running back prospect who embodies the modern offensive weapon. Standing at 5’10” and weighing 207 pounds, he offers a rare combination of skills that could make him dangerous at the next level.
5. DT Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams is a powerful defensive tackle who combines excellent strength with surprising quickness. At 6'3" and 327 pounds, he can dominate offensive linemen by bull-rushing through blocks and effectively handling double teams. His ability to disrupt offensive schemes and create pressure makes him a promising NFL defensive line prospect.
6. DE JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau is a versatile defensive end who has been a massive part of the Buckeyes' defense the last few seasons. At 6'5" and 269 pounds, he brings exceptional strength and football intelligence to the field. He excels at stopping run plays and has the potential to develop into a dynamic pass rusher.
7. RB Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins appears poised to make an immediate impact at the next level, with the potential to evolve into a lead back in an NFL offense. His vision, explosiveness, and power make him perfect for zone-running schemes. Although he might not have the top-tier speed of some elite backs, Judkins makes up for it with his knack for gaining yards through contact and navigating tight spaces effectively.
8. QB Will Howard
Will Howard may have only played one season in Columbus, but it’s safe to say he’s a Buckeye legend forever now. The 6'4", 235-pound quarterback showed what he could do running Ohio State's pro-style offense, especially during the playoffs, where his anticipation and ball placement stood out. Howard has undoubtedly climbed the draft board since leading the Buckeyes to a National Championship victory.
9. OT Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson is expected to be a day-one starter at guard with the upside to become a foundational piece of an offensive line. His unique blend of size, strength, and athleticism gives him the versatility to thrive in both gap and zone-blocking schemes. His ability to anchor against power rushers and mirror quickness in pass protection will translate seamlessly to the NFL.

Denzel Burke's length, size, and ball skills make him an intriguing prospect for the NFL Draft. His ability to mirror routes and break up passes at the catch point makes him effective in both man and zone coverage. I see Burke as a second or third-round pick in April.
