Bosa, Scooby Wright or Myles Jack would be so nice on our defense.

A lot would have to go wrong for us to be in the Bosa sweepstakes.

 

[ChambersWI]

Everybody is talking about Ohio State's QBs but they'll go as far as Zeke Elliot carries them. As good as their 3 QBs are Zeke is amazing. I also wouldn't be shocked if Bosa gets Heisman love. One weakness he has right now is he can be beat on the read option. But kid is as good of a DE as there's been in awhile. Hard worker.

Yeah I think we will be drafting in the 20's, and Bosa will be long gone. Jack or Wright would be a nice LB pickup....I think Walter Football had us taking Jack in their recent 2016 mock.

Zeke Elliot is a better prospect than Melvin Gordon. In Cardale's 3 starts that he gets so much credit for, Zeke ran for 220+ in all 3 of those games... all while using 1 arm

yeah only thing holding back the Buckeyes (in theory) right now is a lack of proven quality in the passing game. lost their 2 best players and their next best WR is best on jet sweeps and screens right now. But with that offensive line and that talent in the backfield (and defense) gonna be good.

Good to see Anthony Zettel get some love. Guy dominated the Big 10. Little small for a DT in most systems, but he'd fit what we like and in a 3-4 as well.

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

I think DE in first round would be a good early prediction for Miami. With Cam Wake getting up in years and Olivier Vernon wanting big money, the Dolphins could certainly be in the market. Bosa will likely be a top 5 pick, but maybe Buckner, Oakman or Calhoun.

Also, looks like a good draft for linebackers with Jack and Jaylen Smith as my favorites. Henry, the running back from Alabama, is another player I like. If Miller is not signed that could be another area of need for Miami.

 

[Roman529]

I wouldn't mind drafting Kicker Roberto Aguayo with a sixth or seventh rounder. He is money.
