Wisconsin at Ohio State NFL Draft watch notes

If you like offensive linemen, the Ohio State/Wisconsin game is the one for you.

Since returning from a five-game suspension, Ohio State left tackle Mike Adams has been excellent in the running game. At 6-foot-8 and 320 pounds, Adams and length and power that will make him an early contributor in the NFL. I question his ceiling and if he's athletic enough to stay on the left side, though.

Adams is far from the only top offensive line prospect in this game. Arguably the nation's top two center prospects will be in this game. Ohio State has the solid Michael Brewster, a prospect who could jump into a starting NFL lineup as a rookie. Wisconsin's Peter Konz is a fast riser and an upside higher than Brewster's. Also pay close attention to Badgers guard Kevin Zeitler. He's one of the better pure guards in this year's class. Ohio State's other tackle, J.B. Shugarts, could get some late-round consideration, as should Wisconsin's Josh Oglesby.

One of the best players in tonight’s game is Wisconsin wide receiver

Nick Toon

. He’s shown great body control this season and is good at beating the jam. He’s solidified himself as a second-round pick at worst.
Ohio State running back Dan Herron was solid in his first game back from suspension against Illinois. He carried the ball 23 times for 114 yards and a touchdown, showing his quick feet and solid vision. For Wisconsin, junior

Montee Ball

is the latest star runner on the team. Like past Badgers runners, he’s not the fastest but runs with power.
Buckeyes tight end

Jake Stoneburner

has a lot of talent but suffers because of the quarterback play at Ohio State. When he gets the ball, Stoneburner can be dangerous.

He’s a bit of a liability in the run game, but his potential in the pass game was enough for Buffalo Rumblings.
