OSU is a football factory like Miami, USC, Notre Dame, Florida, Florida State and a few others. Every year they produce NFL caliber players. That's a reason they are in the hunt for th National Title most years. They're good. And Tressel is pretty decent too.Go Bucks!Any thoughts?

I gotta give it to them... 5 Buckeye in the first is very impressive. I thought FSU was going to have the most, unfortunatley not. Nice draft.

Yes we do produce a crop of players that are not only NFL ready physically, but also possess good work ethics and good personality with the exception of Clarett. It was nice to see 2 hometown guys now able to be on the same team again. (Mangold and Nugent) Not only that but Schlegel as well!! Jim Herrmann, linebackers coach who could have very well been slated as Lloyd Carr's replacement is a fine pick up by the Jets as he was a fine Def. Coor. at Michigan. He's from close to my hometown in Ohio so I applaud him. I'm sure he filtered in some info. that helped w/ the aquiring of Schlegel.

Of course you would think that. While the fans recognize the Pac10 is a nice league for the left coasters, the NFL recognizes OSU and the Big10 annually in the draft. Many in the first and many throughout. So that just leaves the Pac10 fans thinking oherwise. But to thei credit they have had some nice success lately.

So Bush at 2 is a SOD? As for the rest, time will tell. Clearly the NFL had concerns. Leinart might be a nice pick at 10 as many feel he's the best QB. But being the best at your position dosn't always mean a top 10pick either. It's all relative. Drew is mired in a RBBC in Jax so I Wouldn't get too excited for him. Justice could be the realSOD if he can overcome his character issues.BTW-USC isn't exactly wearing the character aspect too well these days. While they have had some good talent it's becomig evident that there are some character issues that come with that talent. Real issues will continue to rear their ugly heads.

Notre Dame only had two players chosen the whole day, while NC State had three players chosen in the first 26 picks,. I wouldn't call ND a factory any more. That may change, but they are not once they once were at the moment.As for Ohio State, they definitely are a nice feeder program to NFL year in and year out. Texas needs to be included on this list, too.OSU is a football factory like Miami, USC, Notre Dame, Florida, Florida State and a few others. Every year they produce NFL caliber players.

Texas for sure. But when I mentioned these schools I was looking back ove 20+ years and ND certainly belongs in that group.Notre Dame only had two players chosen the whole day, while NC State had three players chosen in the first 26 picks,.

That beating in Happy Valley always seems to be glossed over by Buckeye fans everywhere.Family Matters

Really? Not sure how it can be ignored. It was a great win for PSU. They didn't know it at the time but too bad they blew it in Mich or they might of had a shot at a National Champ.

While OSU does produce good football talent, I don't really consider them a "factory" exactly. I don't know that there is a Big Ten team that I would consider a "factory". That's reserved for teams like Miami, FSU etc.
I don't understand what the big whoop is about 5 in the first round though. They had a ton making themselves eligible for the draft, and several seniors right? It was a very good showing, no question, but I don't see it being as big a deal as everyone else.
It's clear that this was definitely a year where offensive players were at a minimum and a lot of teams need defensive help. When that happens, defense oriented schools SHOULD have a lot of players drafted, shouldn't they??

I like Lloyd Carr's idea of a national championship playoff where you play the games at the schools. I would love to see Pac-10 and Florida teams have to come to Columbus, Ann Arbor, and Iowa City in December. I am tired of seeing Big 10 teams have to play home games for the Pac-10.
