Eight former OSU players were picked in the seven-round draft Saturday-Sunday at New York City's Radio City Music Hall.
Two of those Buckeyes, wide receiver/returner Ted Ginn Jr., ninth to Miami, and wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez, 32nd to Indianapolis, were chosen in the first round. With the selection of Ginn Jr. Gonzalez in the first round, Ohio State now has the most first round picks all-time, 66, in the history of the NFL draft. Southern California, who had no players picked in the first round, is second all-time at 65.
