How Many Ohio State Buckeyes Will Get Drafted in the 2026 NFL Draft?

In this episode of Menace2Sports with Zach Smith, the hosts dive into the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, focusing heavily on Ohio State's projected draft class. Zach and Chris debate the number of Buckeyes likely to be drafted, with Zach predicting 10-11 total selections, including five first-rounders (Arvell, Caleb, Sonny, Carnell, Caden McDonald), and potential late-round picks like Lorenzo Stiles Jr. and Will Kaczmarek. They analyze player projections, mock drafts, and the impact of speed and film quality, especially for players like Caden Curry and Stiles, who could be value picks in the later rounds. The conversation shifts to broader college football topics, including the decline of Alabama’s dominance after Nick Saban’s departure, the rise of Indiana under Curt Cignetti, and the cultural fallout among Bama fans. The hosts also critique Lincoln Riley’s claim of a 'championship window' at USC, calling it performative, and discuss the potential expansion of the College Football Playoff to 24 teams, questioning its logic and fairness. Throughout, the tone is energetic, opinionated, and deeply engaged with football culture, fan psychology, and the business side of the sport.
