The Denver Broncos already drafted one Ohio State Buckeyes defensive player at the bottom of the third round in linebacker Baron Browning. In the seventh round, they added his teammate, defensive end Jonathon Cooper.

After crushing day two of the 2021 NFL Draft, George Paton picked right up where he left off with his day three selections, adding a pair of safeties in Caden Sterns and Jamar Johnson in the fifth round before going back to the defensive side of the ball in the seventh.
