Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Just here waiting for the turkey to be fried and came across this and thought I would share. I always love seeing how projected drafts change over the course of a season.

Obviously, there is plenty of time for players to move up and down but just wanted to share what one CBS Sports Expert projects as of now. He currently has three buckeyes taken in round one. 

Pick Team Player Comments (if any)
2 Jacksonville Jaguars Justin Fields Fields is really impressive but even with a magical season in 2020, he likely won’t pass Lawrence as the first pick, barring some kind of bizarre decision from the Jets or other first overall pick. Fields established himself as a legitimate NFL quarterback once he transferred to Ohio State and 2020 saw many improvements in his passing game that made him even more dangerous. It appears the Jaguars tried and failed with two quarterback experiments: Nick Foles and Gardner Minshew, so Fields is the next step to get it right.
14 Chicago Bears Wyatt Davis  
27 Baltimore Ravens Chris Olave  

The obvious first-round Buckeye missing is Shaun Wade. His draft stock, as expected, has taken a massive dip when lining up against bigger receivers like Dotson and Fryfogle - it hasn't gone unnoticed. Hopefully, he can turn his season around and get right back in the thick of it. 

Other B1G projected 1st round selections include
#5 - Micah Parsons, Penn State (Denver Broncos)
#7 - Kwity Paye, Michigan (Miami Dolphins)
#19 - Jayson Oweh, Penn State (Cleveland Browns)
#24 - Pat Freiermuth, Penn State (Arizona Cardinals)
#30 - Rashawn Slater, Northwestern (Pittsburgh Steelers)

As another note, they have Alabama getting 5 first rounders, leading all schools. 

He projects Cinci to pick up OL Penei Sewell from Oregon at #3
