Ohio State Overtakes USC For Most First- Round NFL Draft Picks With the Washington Redskins’ selection of defensive end Chase Young with the second-overall pick the 2020 NFL Draft, Ohio State has passed USC for the most first-round draft picks of all time. The two programs entered Thursday night tied at 81 first-round selections apiece since the draft’s inception in 1936, but Young pushed the Buckeyes ahead of the Trojans. Cornerback Jeff Okudah, who was taken by the Detroit Lions just one pick later, then extended the lead. This marks the third time in program history that Ohio State has had two players selected among the first five picks, as offensive tackle Orlando Pace and cornerback Shawn Springs were taken with the first- and third-overall picks in 1997, respectively, while defensive end Joey Bosa and running back Ezekiel Elliott came off the board with the third- and fifth-overall picks in 2016, respectively. USC could potentially cut back into Ohio State’s two-pick lead, with offensive tackle Austin Jackson projected by some to be a late first-round pick. The Buckeyes could push it to three picks if running back J.K. Dobbins hears his name called this evening, however.

The Quarterbacks of the NFL Draft: A Study into the Media Coverage of the 2012 & 2020 First Round Quarterbacks Christopher F. Clements Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Communications Stephanie Smith (Chair) Chelsea Woods Nneka Logan May 10, 2020 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: thematic analysis, sports media, framing theory, race The Quarterbacks of the NFL Draft: A Study into the Media Coverage of the 2012 & 2020 First Round Quarterbacks Christopher F. Clements Abstract This study seeks to identify, understand, and compare the themes created, by the print media, utilized to ascribe identity to college quarterbacks as they are entering the NFL Draft. The study will compare the four first-round quarterbacks from the 2020 NFL Draft and four first- round quarterbacks from the 2012 NFL Draft; which because of its historic nature of being the first draft to include a white and Black quarterback of drafted number one and two, respectively, is used as a baseline. The study uses framing theory and previous research to understand the themes present in the media coverage of these quarterbacks from the 2020 NFL Draft and the 2012 NFL Draft. A total of 112 newspaper articles from the Newsbank database were analyzed using qualitative research methods to compare the differences in frames that exist due to the racial background of each quarterback. Additionally, the difference in narratives and expressed frames, depicted by the print media over an eight-year time span were compared and examined using framing theory.

2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report: QB Nathan Rourke, Ohio
2020 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT JANUARY 4, 2020 2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report: QB Nathan Rourke, Ohio *Our QB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. I was looking through our early computer scouting model grades, looking for a QB I’d never heard of who stood out with some interesting attributes/production who might be interesting to do some initial study on…and I ran across some guy from Ohio University who was a three-year starter, won all three of his bowl games, was a two-year captain, and threw for 60 TDs/20 INTs with 48 rushing TDs in 38 career games. I was like…OK, I’ll bite. I need to look at this guy ASAP. So, here we are… I’m also kinda extra-looking out for ‘Lamar Jackson’ type prospects…the formerly overlooked/underrated, the guys who might not be Tom Brady but who can run the ball like a weapon and might be plausible enough as passers to make some hay in the NFL. On paper, Rourke seemed to show some of those attributes. I did the background check, and all looked well…no injuries, off field issues. Seemed like a bright kid. A two-time captain and a winner every season for a solid mid-major program. Nice start. But…then I turned on the tape and saw what the computer models saw overall – a really neat college quarterback who will most likely not make it in the NFL.

Journal of Business Cases and Applications Volume 29 Statistical Analysis of 2020 NFL Mock Drafts Cali Manning Davis Troy University Ed Pappanastos Troy University ABSTRACT Even before a college football season has started, sports analysts are unveiling their ‘way-too-early’ predictions for the National Football League’s draft that is almost a year away. As the college and professional football seasons progress and the date of the draft approaches, analysts continue updating and publishing revised predictions. After both seasons have finished, professional teams will interview and workout eligible college draft prospects to gather more information. Sports analysts continue updating their predictions until the actual draft occurs.
