1st-round picks boost Ohio State’s cache on recruiting trail

Kansas City was looking to add some picks after the National Football League took away their 3rd rounder for tampering with Jeremy Maclin during last year’s free agency period.

Ohio States Joey Bosa poses for photos after being selected by the San Diego Chargers as the third pick in the first round of the 2016 NFL football draft, Thursday, April 28, 2016, in Chicago. And now I get to go out to San Diego, probably the most laid-back place in the country. With that being said, the Chargers should benefit from Bosa’s ability to set the edge against the run at outside linebacker, while he has huge upside playing with his hand in the ground and his ears pinned back at defensive end on longer down and distances. He also joins former IL defensive tackle Corey Liuget to form one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. However, Denver did get some compensatory picks this year.

Keep an eye out for the skill position players that get drafted in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft Friday night. Corey Coleman, WR, Keanu Neal, S, Ryan Kelly, C, and Joshua Garnett are the glaring examples of players who have been over drafted.

Defense is usually a priority for the New York Jets and they didn’t waver off that stance.

With Bosa’s arrival, the Chargers get a disruptive force who was the Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year. While they are all great comparisons, it’s way too early to make those statements.

Linebacker Darron Lee, No. 20 to the Jets. They will not regret this pick.

Thomas was a favorite of the Saints coaching staff and provides a solid target for veteran quarterback Drew Brees. They had Marques Colston retire and they have a young crew behind him. Meyer also recruited Eastern Kentucky pass rusher Noah Spence, who left Ohio State after being suspended for repeat drug-related violations. The 49ers now have nine picks remaining to fill various other needs. He stands at 6-foot-3 and will be able to pull down passes on Sundays. I think that’s what makes great players great. Well, I disagreed with the “experts” on this subject.

“We think Hargreaves is a good player; we think this guy is a better player”, Giants general manager Jerry Reese told the NY media.

Many thought safety Vonn Bell would be a first round pick. From Cincinnati and Taft High School, Washington was an anchor this season on a defense that ranked No. 2 in the Football Bowl Subdivision in fewest points allowed at 15.1 ppg and No. 9 in total defense. All should go in the second round, with cornerback Cyrus Jones a possibility.

The Oakland Raiders usually don’t draft particularly well. “I feel like I’m fairly social, so from that aspect alone, we have spent quite a bit of time talking to each other, just having conversations”.
