It's time for one of the greatest spectacles in American sports when the 2026 NFL draft gets underway on Thursday with the start of the first round. Ohio State has been an NFL factory over the years, and that looks to be the case again with four players projected to go very early in the first round and a potential for five total to go in the first day.

Not much makes an OSU fan swell with pride more than seeing a parade of Buckeyes be a part of the NFL draft, so if that's your sort of thing (we're pretty sure it is), then we have everything you need to know to not only find the draft, but to watch it and play Hang on Sloopy or something else TBDBITL has cooked up as you see names adorned in Scarlet and Gray crawl across the screen beginning on Thursday.
