Summary

With the NFL Draft one month away as of Monday, Doug and Nathan reset where Ohio State's players sit in national mock drafts.

Is the conference's identity beginning to shift? Finally, a round of Whatcha Watchin' Whatcha Eatin' that leads us to the Chris Rock-Will Smith Oscar altercation.

Hey, hey, where you been, but got to talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, hey, come on in.

0:29.0

Welcome back to Buckeye Talk. It is an actual Monday madness. Haven't had one of these in a while. We've been bouncing them around the week.

0:35.0

I'm Nathan Barrett along with Douglas Maurice. So our usual way to kick off the week, bit of a strange week in the world of starting off a strange week or maybe ending the previous strange week in the entertainment world.

0:49.0

We're going to talk about that later on in this podcast, but it is still football season here in Columbus.

0:56.0

And the NFL draft is coming up and that's going to be a big focus of what we talk about today.

1:00.0

The Ohio State had its pro day last week. This is the first time Doug and I have had a chance to talk on the pod since that.

1:06.0

Steven and I did a breakdown the next day of what Ohio State guys we thought helped themselves and the impressive performances and what they might mean as it relates to NFL draft standing.

1:18.0

But Doug, as you looked at those results and what it might mean for Ohio State players is anything that stood out to you as we start to get even closer to getting some certainty on where some of these players might fall.

1:29.0

Yeah, I mean, Garrett thought he helped himself, right? The Garrett was a little better. I thought that kind of because that can even make the difference of the battle.

1:40.0

He's probably in a battle with Drake London to be the first receiver off the board.

1:44.0

And while the Browns still had a first round pick, I was sort of half joking, sort of half not joking.

1:52.0

If you want to see if you're a Browns fan and Ohio State fan, root for Garrett Wilson to not put up the greatest testing numbers of all time.

2:00.0

And I thought he was I had written something when I was doing Browns mock draft. So I thought Garrett Wilson had almost like the ideal combine to make him a Brown that he didn't set the world on fire.

2:11.0

But he certainly did put up on a red flag. So I thought he still made sense for the Browns 13 and obviously the Browns traded their first round pick and he's not going to be a Cleveland Brown.

2:22.0

Then I thought maybe what he did at pro day, maybe made it a little more difficult for him to get to 13.

2:31.0

And I'm trying to look at the betting lines now. So I'll see if I can find one.

2:36.0

I'm trying to get the first receiver off the board, Garrett Wilson versus Drake London or anybody else.

2:41.0

But I think tiny little things when you're drafting elite players, hey, this guy's elite and this guy's elite. It's not a either or it's a both.

2:51.0

So how do you decide? Well, Drake London's always going to be bigger.

2:55.0

So then what can Garrett give you? What can Garrett Wilson give it to me? And I thought maybe some of what he did at his pro day, maybe help some team say, oh, no, no, yeah, he's our number one receiver.

3:04.0

Yeah, Drake London quite a bit bigger 6 4 2 19 is a listing. I'm seeing on him here. So if size is your priority at that position for whatever reason, either in general or because of how you think it fits with your roster right now.

3:18.0

Drake London might be the guy that you lean to. I think it's hard to look at either those guys and say necessarily that you're making a wrong decision.
