OSU didn't have a player drafted in the first round this year, mainly due to everyone coming back. Here's how 2016 stacks up:
List of guys who most likely will be first rounders:
Joey Bosa, DE
Cardale Jones, QB
Ezekiel Elliot, RB
Taylor Decker, OT*
Darron Lee, OLB
Underclassmen with serious potential to jump into the first round:
Vonn Bell, SS
Michael Thomas, WR
Other guys who probably will get drafted outside of the first round:
Pat Elflein, OG
Tyvis Powell, FS
Joshua Perry, OLB*
Corey Smith, WR*
Nick Vannett, TE*
Braxton Miller, QB/position switch attempt*
Eli Apple, CB
Adolphus Washington, DT/DE*
Jalin Marshall, WR/RB/Hybrid
*denotes senior
There are other underclassmen possibilities like Dontre Wilson and Jacoby Boren who aren't likely to come out, but could be drafted, and Chase Farris has the potential to be drafted as a senior first year starter at RT this year. There's a scenario where JT Barrett would be drafted if he won the starting QB job, had a similar season to last year and then declared.
Darron Lee is my favorite prospect on the team, I think he has an astronomical rise into or near the top 10.
