It comes off blunt, but it doesn\u2019t feel like much of a debate right now. Turn on the draft, and it feels like Ohio State is on the screen every few minutes.<\/p>\n
Over the last two NFL Drafts, the Buckeyes have produced eight first-round picks. Fourteen players have gone in the first two rounds. Twenty-five total selections in that stretch ties an all-time mark for a program across back-to-back drafts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s wild. That\u2019s staggering,\u201d Klatt said.<\/p>\n
And it is. But it also lines up with what\u2019s been building in Columbus.<\/p>\n
Klatt pointed to what head coach Ryan Day has put together, in not just stacking talent, but developing it quickly enough that even players with limited starting experience are ready when their moment comes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe school turning out the most talent for the NFL right now lives in Columbus,\u201d Klatt said. \u201cThey are rolling.\u201d<\/p>\n
How Buckeyes dominate NFL Draft every year<\/p>\n
You can see it in how fast guys are moving. Some aren\u2019t even long-term starters, and they\u2019re still landing early in the draft. That says a lot about just how prepared they are when they leave.<\/p>\n
And this isn\u2019t a one-off run. \u201cIt\u2019s not going to stop,\u201d Klatt said.<\/p>\n
If anything, the next wave might already be in place. Ohio State has had a wide receiver taken in the first round in five straight drafts, and Klatt made it clear that he doesn\u2019t expect that streak to end anytime soon.<\/p>\n
Most of the “Way too Early” mock drafts have at least two Ohio State players listed in the first round. Some have upwards of five with Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin, Brandon Inniss<\/a>, Kenyatta Jackson Jr., and Austin Siereveld predicted to go early.<\/p>\n \u201cJeremiah Smith<\/a> doesn\u2019t even have to play next year,\u201d Klatt said. \u201cHe\u2019s going to be a top-five pick.\u201d<\/p>\n That\u2019s the standard now. For the Buckeyes, it\u2019s not just about winning games and championships. For Ryan Day and staff, it’s about finding the right student-athletes<\/a> and through hard work and development, placing them on a path to get to the next level.<\/p>\n Right now, nobody is doing that better than the Ohio State Buckeyes.<\/p>\n
