underclassmen declaring for NFL

Marshall? Really? I missed that one. Good for Wilson I guess (he's back right?). Seems like JM could have improved his stock with another year. Can't really argue any of the others except for maybe Apple since I think he could do better than 3rd with another year. IMO if you aren't a clear 1 or 2 you should stay in school unless you've hit your ceiling and been in school for 4 years.
A couple of these guys left me confused, Marshall leaving is really a head scratcher. Up until people started talking about it the last 3 days, I just assumed he wasn't even considering leaving. Big difference between guys like Thomas that have proven stats and reliability and Marshall who is a very raw athlete. Love the guy, and a great Buckeye, but it seems like the idea now is if you don't leave early that you must not be very good. Do they not realize how big of a jump it is to go from college to the NFL? Playing against kids to playing against men. Or the players have very little confidence in next year? At this point I would be surprised if JT doesn't declare.

He's not. He has said as much. I don't have the link though.

Is this going to be some sort of record? What a damn shame we couldn't get into the playoffs.

Possibly. But Ohio State broke the draft record in 2004 with 14 total players drafted.


someone later corrects Stewart to say LSU had 10 or 11 one year


I think Stewart is talking underclassmen and the guy from the peanut gallery is talking overall.

This could challenge the 04 (osu/ncaa) draft record of 14 players total though.

Next up: "Urban Meyer declares for the 2016 NFL Draft"

If I'm reading this right (without looking at the depth chart), we've lost everyone from the starting defense except a linebacker and a DE. We've also lost everyone from the starting offense except a QB, and 2 linemen.

Mandel is also wrong on Spence. He'd have been a senior this year (no redshirt). Not that it matters, because had he not taken his detour he'd have left last year and been a 1st rounder.
