Buckeyes reign as draft kings; Tide rule field

As the debates continue about the most recent NFL Draft, there are a few very obvious observations about the Ohio State Buckeyes, who ruled the draft.

Consider that the Buckeyes had:

• Five first-round selections and 10 in the first three rounds, an NFL record.

• Twelve players drafted, the most of any school.

• Four more first-round picks than Alabama and five more overall.

So why aren't the Buckeyes the defending national champions?

The Crimson Tide had only seven players drafted last week, yet the King of SEC Swing won the latest national championship 45-40 over Clemson, which beat Oklahoma 37-17 in the semifinals.
