2016 NFL Draft (April 28-April 30, 2016)

Is this a great "recruiting tool" story or what...

Ohio State made program history Thursday night with three former players getting drafted in the Top 10 of the NFL Draft. Five Buckeyes were taken in the first 20 picks as the first-round proceedings evolved into a three-hour long Buckeye infomercial.

As it turns out, the bank accounts of Ohio State's draftees had the best night of all. (Yes, even better than Zeke's resurrected crop top.)

According to projections from Forbes, the five Buckeye draftees earned a whopping $87,222,875 in contract money and $54,389,808 in signing bonus money.

ROOKIE SALARY PROJECTIONS
PICK TEAM/PLAYER.................SALARY...............SIGNING BONUS
3 CHARGERS/JOEY BOSA............$25,882,931.............$17,014,947
4 COWBOYS/EZEKIEL ELLIOTT.....$24,965,720.............$16,347,885

I get it, you have some sort of weird hate fetish for Tebow....I just want the Browns to get to and win a playoff game....and strangely ripping on someone who did, also while beating [Mark May]zburgh, is kinda dumb in my IMO.....

So it turns out that my negative opinion of Tim Tebow is what has been holding the Browns back all these years.

Derrick Henry to TEN. Not a bad deal at all. Can they make it three straight Heisman winners next year?

Tampa got Hargreaves and Spence. That seems like a solid draft so far.
Absolutely. Giving Lavonte David some tools to work with on D. Bucs have a lot of young potential on both sides of the ball.
