Headlining this year’s class is Fernando Mendoza, who just won the Heisman Trophy and a national championship. The quarterback is the Las Vegas Raiders’ favorite to be the No. 1 pick in April.
This is a year where defensive players are needed, though, as five of the top six picks in the draft are defensive players. That includes EDGE Rueben Bain Jr., who was fresh off a CFP run with the Miami Hurricanes.

Additionally, four of the top nine players in the draft went to Ohio State, further showcasing the talent within the program.
