The Ohio State Buckeyes will dominate the 2025 NFL Draft. As many as 17 Buckeyes could hear their name called over the three-day event, and 15 have draftable grades on our collective Big Board. ESPN's latest 2-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft highlighted how quickly the flurry of talent could be selected.

With less than two months to go, the 2025 NFL Draft will be everyone's focus as free agency comes and goes over the next couple of weeks. We'll be here for pick-by-pick analysis.

We're getting ahead of the action, though, and going to look at all seven Buckeyes selected by ESPN's Jordan Reid. 

Buckeyes Selected 2025 NFL Mock Draft

26. Emeka Egbuka, WR: Los Angeles Rams

One of the cleanest fits in the draft happens with Ohio State's first player off the board. The program's all-time leading receiver finds a home with Sean McVay and the Rams, giving them a well-rounded, pro-ready option who impacts the game as a playmaker and blocker. I'd be surprised if the Rams passed on Egbuka if given the chance to take him.

31. Josh Simmons, OT, Kansas City Chiefs

Josh Simmons has a huge range of outcomes since he should be in consideration as early as the top 10 picks. However, this is a good tackle class, and Simmons is coming off a torn ACL. Kansas City desperately needs a pure left tackle who can start right now, and Simmons is certainly that.

33. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Cleveland Browns

Keeping an Ohio State product in state lines is a huge win for fans and the Cleveland Browns. Nick Chubb is no longer a star and may not be a Brown for long, so replacing him with an explosive three-down playmaker is critical. Henderson proved tough, more durable, and reliable while producing a dominant senior season in 2024.

39. Donovan Jackson, G/OT, Chicago Bears

Chicago risks passing on a blocker early but gets rewarded with another Buckeye, who should probably go higher than this. Donovan Jackson would play guard for the Bears, but he's a legit first-round tackle option for teams. His ascension into this range came after a heroic mid-season positional change. 

44. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Dallas Cowboys

As with Henderson, Quinshon Judkins finds an ideal landing spot in Round 2. It's funny to see how surprised people were that Judkins excelled at the Combine as if he wasn't one of the most productive players in the nation for the last three years. Judkins isn't super explosive, but he's consistent, powerful, and will be a stud RB1. 

49. JT Tuimoloau, Edge, Cincinnati Bengals

Another Buckeye stays within state lines as JT Tuimoloau gets picked over Jack Sawyer. Tuimoloau is a pro-ready run-stopper right now and could supplant Sam Hubbard for the Bengals. His tremendous late-season surge this past Playoff doesn't go unnoticed. 

63. Tyleik Williams, DT, Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs go back-to-back with Ohio State stars. Their defensive line also needs an upgrade as Tershawn Wharton hits free agency. Tyleik Williams can pair with Chris Jones as a run-stopping tackle with some pass-rush upside.
