who will be the highest drafted player

to the NFL, out of any of the Ohio State defensive players currently on their roster?

I say Bradley Roby has definite 1st round potential. I see Simon going in the 2nd. So I say Roby.

Big Hank.

that would be nice to see Hank develope into that kind of game changer.

Hankins and Simon will both go in the first, IMO. That's IF Hankins decides to leave.

I think that Stoneburner has some of the best physical tools for a tight end in the entire country, so he might end up being a second-round pick. I don't think Roby leaves after this year, I think he stays at least one more after that. I definitely think Sabino gets drafted, he's looked very good this spring. Barnett is another guy who could get drafted, Urban has been raving about him, and if Jordan Hall has a decent year, he could be a 5th-6th round pick. And I also think Boren gets drafted late, or signs as an UDFA. Wouldn't be surprised if Goebel/Bellamy get looks too.

I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.

Hank will be a first round pick even if he doesn't develop...great potential. Roro has some good talent and should be a first round pick. Simon could be a 1 if he eats everyone this year, he would project as a DE I think.

Roby is going to be a sophomore this season, right? He can't go pro next year no matter how good he is.

Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!

@Hail, he'll be a redshirt sophomore.

Big Swede on 30 Apr 2012 - 11:39pm #

He will be a redshirt sophomore, so he'll be eligible to enter next year's draft.

Shazier. Doesn't say which draft year :)

Big Hank without any further development would still gop in top 10-15 IMO. Shazier is as obvious a candidate as any but don't sleep on C.J. Barnett. Now two yrs removed from the knee injury I expect to resume his on track to being a top flight safety.

Hankins is projected as a top 5 pick next year by many

sir rickithda3rd on 1 May 2012 - 8:41am #

I see hank in the top 7, and I see Simon in the top ten after he eats everyone alive this year!

mark may wins douchebag of the year... again

sir rickithda3rd on 1 May 2012 - 8:43am #

Barkley seems to be almost as sure fire as luck to go #1. Which is kinda surprising to me isnt he only like 6'1"?

mark may wins douchebag of the year... again

Easily Big Hank.

Simon doesn't project that well, actually. And I doubt Roby will project as high as Hank.

I don't think which draft or year in school school should matter. Which player, currently on the roster, will get drafted highest in an NFL Draft?

UrbzRenewal on 1 May 2012 - 6:49pm #

When it's all said and done?

Anybody for Taylor Decker?

Sporting News thinks Noah Spence could go #1 his year

http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2012-04-30/nfl-draft-future-no-1-p...

2016:

Noah Spence, DE, Ohio State. Spence is the complete package—he has size at 6-4, 245, mobility and intelligence—and he’s opportunistic in the backfield.

@Buckeye06 Sporting News once again being awfully silly....

They want to predict future #1 overall picks and then list only 3 QBs out of how many guys?? Sure all of those guys on there are beasts and probable first rounders. But 10 of the last 12 #1 picks have been a QB. Not saying its right or wrong that QBs are at a premium... but man at least use your brain when you write an article.
