The NFL Draft is now just one day away and everyone is putting the finishing touches on their final mock drafts. That includes FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt.

Over the years, Klatt has become one of the more prominent voices in college football as a member of FOX’s coverage of the sport. Covering several B1G games throughout the year, he’s also become somewhat of an expert in the conference.

Klatt has released his top five B1G players ahead of Thursday night’s draft, and there aren’t many surprises on the list. His list would be very similar to most NFL Draft experts if they were to only rank the B1G talents available.

Below is Klatt’s list:

Nick Bosa could be the No. 1 overall pick on Thursday and is considered no lower than a top-three pick. Rashan Gary and Dwayne Haskins have also been considered anywhere from top 10 to top 15 picks.

The two Iowa tight ends — Noah Fant and T.J. Hockenson — will likely both hear their names called in the first round, as well.

Really, the only questionable omission is Michigan linebacker Devin Bush, who some are calling the best player in the draft. But with such a talented list, someone had to get left off.

We’ll find out this weekend the accuracy of Klatt’s list.
