In some ways, the 2015 NFL draft was a surprise to some Buckeye fans.
It's not as though Ohio State was lacking in talent – OSU has dominated the Big Ten in recruiting for the last 15 years – but some people might have been expecting more draftees from the national champions.
Five Buckeyes in all were taken in the 2015 draft: Devin Smith, Jeff Heuerman, Doran Grant, Michael Bennett and Evan Spencer. None was a first rounder, although Smith was taken early in the second round. It's unusual for a championship team; the last national champion not to produce a first rounder the next year, as has been much bandied about, was Ohio State in 2003.
