Ohio State has the most all-time first-round NFL draft picks of any school. That lead should only grow on Thursday night.
Going into this week’s NFL draft, Ohio State has 87 all-time first-round picks, three more than second-place USC. The Buckeyes will become the first school ever to have 90 first-round draft choices when C.J. Stroud, Paris Johnson Jr. and Jaxon Smith-Njigba – all projected top-15 overall picks – are officially selected during the draft’s first round.
Ohio State could have four first-round picks; Dawand Jones is widely projected to be a second-round pick, but some mock drafts have him going in the back half of Round 1.
