Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
The 2025 NFL draft will be the 90th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible players. The draft is scheduled to be held around Lambeau Field and Titletown campus in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on April 24–26, 2025.
Here's a way too early 2025 NFL Mock Draft that has 6 Ohio State 1st round picks:
2025 NFL Mock Draft: Colorado stars Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter headline CBS Sports' debut projections
These college football stars highlight a loaded 2025 draft class.
College football's biggest stars made leaps in their careers last month when they heard their names called at the 2024 NFL Draft. Meanwhile, those players' departures opened avenues to stardom for the replacements at their respective schools, and many of those up-and-coming standouts and returning weapons thrived in spring practices. Phenoms like the Colorado duo of Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter are now a year out from headlining the NFL's next wave of rookies in 2025.Preseason stars have a long road ahead of them in cementing their status as pro prospects, but the majority of college football's biggest names for the 2024 campaign will jockey for positioning on the draft board throughout the upcoming season. CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson offered a lookahead at which players could headline next year's class, with Ohio State, Georgia and other recruiting powerhouses leading the way in projected selections.
5. NEW YORK GIANTS: DE JT TUIMOLOAU, OHIO STATE
JT Tuimoloau projected as a three-year player for Ohio State when he signed with the program as the nation's No. 1 overall recruit in the 2021 class. He is back for a fourth season, though, on the heels of his best campaign to date in which he logged 38 tackles, seven tackles for loss and five sacks. In order to reach the lofty heights that would both fulfill his expectations and make him an early first-round target, Tuimoloau must be more consistent in 2024. He could be the top edge rusher in this draft class.
8. MINNESOTA VIKINGS: DB DENZEL BURKE, OHIO STATE
Ohio State has a longstanding tradition as one of college football's top cornerback factories, and Denzel Burke should be the next first-rounder to come through Columbus. He made a splash two years ago as a Freshman All-American and remained a formidable pass defender over his sophomore and junior campaigns, and as one of the many draft-eligible players returning for another season with the Buckeyes, Burke could close his college career with a bang and elevate his draft stock to new heights.
14. Indianapolis Colts: WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
17. Cleveland Browns: DT Tyleik Williams, Ohio State
28. Buffalo Bills: DE Jack Sawyer, Ohio State
32. San Francisco 49ers: RB Quinshon Judkins, Ohio State
Re: 2004 Miami tied 2021 Alabama for the record for most first-round picks at six.
Just sayin': I'll say that Ohio State has an outside chance of 7 1st rounders with Treveyon Henderson, Seth McLaughlin, Will Howard, and/or (maybe) Sonny Styles.
