SKULL SESSION: NINE IN THE FIRST FOUR ROUNDS, JOHN SIMON TALKS SUPER BOWL WIN, AND DENZEL WARD AMONG THE TOP 101
FIRST ROUND BUCKS. I've shared too many mock drafts in here to count at this point, and it's hilarious and extremely uncharacteristic that they've barely changed since like, the middle of the season, at least in terms of Buckeye projections at the top.
Nine out of every 10 mock drafts I read has Nick Bosa going to the Cardinals with the No. 1 overall pick and the Giants selecting Dwayne Haskins.
And folks, you're not going to believe this...
From Matt Miller of BleacherReport.com:
1. Arizona Cardinals
The Pick: Nick Bosa, EDGE, Ohio State
For now, the Arizona Cardinals are predicted to do the smart thing and select the best player in the 2019 draft class with the No. 1 overall pick. There are still three months remaining for them to mess this up, though.
Nick Bosa isn't a generational talent—that phrase needs to be retired—but he's a blue-chip prospect at the most important position in the NFL outside of quarterback. If the Cardinals are set on Josh Rosen as the future of the team, then Bosa is a no-brainer selection.
Bosa's talent is unquestioned as a true edge-rusher. As long as he's recovered from a sports hernia injury that ended his 2018 season in September, he will be a wire-to-wire No. 1 overall prospect on my board.

6. New York Giants
The Pick: Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State
The New York Giants have to eventually move on from Eli Manning—or at least draft a viable young quarterback to take over in the near future. The NFL is buzzing right now about the result of the Kansas City Chiefs' plan to draft Patrick Mahomes and let him sit behind Alex Smith for a season. The Giants should follow that blueprint and strike now to get a quarterback of the future.
Dwayne Haskins might not be a trendy fit for the Giants because of his status as a one-year starter at Ohio State, but his talent speaks for itself. He has poise in the pocket that most new starters do not and has shown excellent arm talent and ball placement. Perhaps most encouraging was his development throughout the season, as he played his best football late in the year.
The Giants can't afford to pass on quarterbacks again in 2019; no matter how good the 2020 class looks, now is the time to get a quarterback to groom for the future.
So nothing's changed on that front, and I'm doubting anything's going to change between now and the draft. But the exciting news is, we really have no idea what's going to happen after the first 10 picks in the first round.
A bunch of Buckeyes are going to get drafted, it's just a matter of where. Miller has a total of nine going in the first four rounds.

Re: Ezekiel Elliott was another perceived snub as he led the league in rushing but did not crack the top-101 players.
He got screwed....

SKULL SESSION: OHIO STATE MAKES ITS CASE AS CFB U, DEVIER POSEY AND DONTRE WILSON SIGN CFL CONTRACTS, AND BRIAN KELLY TROLLS MICHIGAN
CFB U. For the past 20 years or so, the NFL Draft has basically just been an extended infomercial for Ohio State football.
Sure, every draft class isn't a behemoth like the 2004 or 2016 drafts, but Ohio State has been consistently pumping players to the next level, especially at a few positions.
Case in point:
I can't say I didn't expect that, put it's so much more hilarious when it's put in perspective.
But folks, we ain't done.
I think it's fair to say that Ohio State is definitely not QBU, but I have a sneaky suspicion that could change under the new regime.

Re: The Buckeyes have had at least two first-round picks and at least seven total players drafted in each of the last three years, and Ohio State appears set to hit both of those marks once again in the 2019 NFL Draft, which begins Thursday in Nashville.
At the top of the draft, Ohio State is a sure bet to have at least two first-round picks. Nick Bosa and Dwayne Haskins are both locks to be selected during Thursday night’s first round of the draft; the only question now is, how high will they go?
Bosa is widely projected to be selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find any mock draft that doesn’t project him to be a top-five overall pick.

Bosa and Haskins make a total of 81 Buckeyes in the first round, which ties USC for the most all time.
