Urban Meyer's turned Ohio State into an NFL Draft factory

Not every stud recruit will go on to the NFL at any school, but you have a pretty good shot when you play for Urban Meyer.

Urban Meyer has recruited 36 bluechip recruits (defined here are four- or five-star players according to the 247Sports Composite) to Ohio State that are now draft-eligible.

These are players from the 2012 and 2013 classes, and they formed the new core of Ohio State's roster. However, how effective has Urban and his staff actually been turning raw high school talent in to value for NFL teams? Of course, it's not always on the coaches -- sometimes even elite recruits change their focus and leave football or see their careers prematurely ended by injury.
