Full List of Ohio State Players Drafted in Each Round of 2024 NFL Draft

Paul Kasabian

Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud emerged as the top rookie from last year's draft, leading the Houston Texans to an AFC South title and a playoff victory while throwing for an NFL-high 273.9 passing yards per game.

This time around, it's possible that another Ohio State player ends up being the top rookie once again.

The B/R NFL Scouting Department big board lists wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. as the top prospect in the class of 2024. That crew has given Harrison a grade of 9.7 out of 10. Only five players got nine or higher, and no one else above 9.3.

Harrison is also the top non-quarterback on the NFL Mock Draft Database consensus big board, so it's clear that expectations are quite high for the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison Sr.

"Harrison is a slam dunk prospect," B/R's Derrik Klassen wrote. "He is a twitched-up athlete with polished route-running ability and elite ball skills. It's so easy to see how his game translates right away. Harrison would be an instant No. 1 WR for most offenses."

Harrison caught 14 touchdown passes in each of his last two college seasons, amassing 144 catches and 2,474 receiving yards as well. The two-time unanimous All-American also earned Fred Biletnikoff Award honors as the nation's best pass-catcher as well.

Harrison isn't the only OSU pass-catcher who turned heads in the predraft process.

Tight end Cade Stover is one of the best at his position in this year's draft and has been considered a Day 2 prospect all along.

B/R has him at TE2, behind Georgia's Brock Bowers, who has long been considered a first-round prospect and found himself near the top of many big boards.

Stover caught 41 passes for 576 yards and five scores for the Buckeyes last year. B/R NFL Scout Derrik Klassen compared Stover to Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox, a 2019 third-round pick who's carved out a successful five-year career in Western New York.

Harrison and Stover ultimately lead the Buckeyes' pack headed to the pros. Here's where they and others ended up.
