Resolution Criteria

The 2026 NFL Draft will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from Thursday, April 23, to Saturday, April 25. The market resolves to the number of Ohio State players selected in the top ten picks (picks 1-10) of the first round. Resolution will be determined by official NFL draft records available at NFL.com Draft Tracker.

Background

Ohio State has four players currently projected in the top ten: linebacker/edge Arvell Reese at No. 3, safety Caleb Downs at No. 7, wide receiver Carnell Tate at No. 8, and linebacker Sonny Styles at No. 10. In a recent ESPN poll of NFL executives, coaches, and players, Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese was voted the top overall prospect in the 2026 class. Eleven former Ohio State stars participated in the 2026 NFL Combine.

Considerations

Draft projections can shift significantly between the combine and draft day based on team needs, trades, and final evaluations. While current consensus has four Ohio State players in the top ten, the actual number could range from zero to four depending on how teams prioritize these prospects relative to other available talent.
