We all know of how epic this next draft is going to be from a visual standpoint. When you break it down into numbers though, it could be insanity.

Allow me to break this down into a point system (1st Round Pick = 7 Points, 2nd Round Pick = 6 Points, Etc.), and measure Ohio States numbers dating back to 1994 (when the draft became 7 rounds).

Top 5 (# Of Draft Picks):

#1: 2004 (14)  #2: 2006 (9)  T#3: 1995/1999/2002 (8)

Top 5 (Draft Score):

#1: 2004 (60)  #2: 2006 (53)  #3: 1995 (41)  #4: 1999 (39)  #5: 2009 (37)

Top 5 (Draft Score/# Of Players Drafted):

#1: 2006 (5.889)  #2: 2005 (5.333)  #3: 2009 (5.286)  #4: 1997 (5.143)  #5: 1995 (5.125)

Lets make the assumption that all 14 players Ohio State has entered gets drafted. That ties them for #1 in terms of total players drafted. The spots in which they get drafted will make up their score. I firmly believe that come May, we will witness the greatest draft class in Ohio State history. 

With an okay draft, I think they'll tie 2004. But with an extra lift from the combine and their pro days, they could reach up into the 70's.
