Draft Wire selects four Ohio State football players in latest two-round NFL mock draft

We are a long way away from the next NFL draft, but you know how it all works. All the predictions and conjecture on where guys will go that are in the college ranks for one more season are now a full-time, 365-day effort.

Heck, we even have a sister site centered around draft news, information, and mocks that gets plenty of eyeballs on it throughout the year. And as luck would have it, our friend Luke Easterling with Draft Wire just released his two-round updated mock NFL draft for us to scroll through.

Truth be known, it’s a beautiful picture gallery made even more alluring with all the Ohio State players included — four in fact. We’ll continue to follow where Easterling has Buckeyes slotted as the season goes on, but for now, before any of the college games get underway, here’s where he has four Ohio State players projected if the draft were to occur today.
