JORDAN FULLER
Coming into his senior season, Jordan Fuller had an average selection around pick No. 76. After staying stable for most of the year, his stock fell during the pre-draft process and Grinding the Mocks now has Fuller being selected around pick No. 124.

It is difficult to fully understand Fuller's draft stock, however, as he has only appeared in 62 mock drafts. There is likely some selection bias in this as he is not penalized for being omitted entirely from mock drafts.

Fuller has been one of the most under-appreciated Buckeyes in recent memory. The safety accumulated 224 tackles in his career and leading the team in tackles in 2019. Fuller may not have the athletic gifts that other safeties in this draft possess but his understanding of the game is second-to-none.

FULLER, VICTOR ALSO MADE AN IMPRESSION
With only about 120 roster spots for the annual all-star game, the Senior Bowl has to make some tough choices about which players to invite at each position, but two other Buckeye seniors that Nagy said were close to making the cut for this year’s game were wide receiver Binjimen Victor and safety Jordan Fuller.

Nagy said he was intrigued by Victor’s physical traits, and that he and Mack “were really close together on our board.”

“When you get into Day 3 of the draft as a scouting staff, you’re just looking for physical traits that you can hit on with a player, and Victor has length and kind of a bounciness to him as an athlete that’s pretty cool,” Nagy said. “So I think Binjimen Victor’s got a good chance of getting drafted and sticking in the league. He’s just got really unique physical traits for the position.”

As for Fuller, Nagy said the Senior Bowl actually invited him to come to Mobile during the middle of the week of practices after another safety had to drop out due to injury. Fuller opted to turn down that last-minute invitation, but Nagy believes Fuller will get drafted and will “definitely make somebody’s team next year.”

“From talking to guys on the (Ohio State coaching) staff, they really like his football intelligence,” Nagy said. “Just a really solid player. Nothing really stood out good or bad, just a really good, solid player. So I think he definitely gets drafted. It was a really deep safety class. He was like the next man up at safety. We had a couple small-school guys in that group that we wanted to get in the game – really high-ceiling small-school guys that deserved a chance to be down here. And that’s part of the function of our game is to bring those guys down here so the league can properly evaluate them on something other than small-school tape.”
