Nick Wright believes the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 and 2027 NFL drafts will come from the Ohio State University. Buckeyes safety Caleb Downs and receiver Jeremiah Smith are seen as the top two players in college football.
Julian Sayin can't be ruled out as a future first-round pick either, if Nick Saban and Bill O'Brien's vision for the ex-Alabama Crimson Tide commit back when originally committed in 2022 -- only keeping that "commitment" until Saban called it quits in January 2024 -- comes to fruition.
Wright shared the prediction amid another prediction:
OSU won't defeat the Texas Longhorns in Week 1.
