With the college football season winding down, several sports outlets are starting to release their mock drafts for the 2020 NFL Draft. On Monday, CBS Sports revealed its latest.

Six players from the B1G made that list, with two players from Ohio State being included in the top three spots. There were also two players from Iowa, one from Wisconsin and one from Penn State.

Three defensive ends, two offensive linemen and one cornerback make up the position groups out of the B1G. Here’s a look at the six B1G names CBS Sports included in its first-round mock draft:

  • No. 2: Chase Young, DE, Ohio State
  • No. 3: Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State
  • No. 11: Tristan Wirfs, OL, Iowa
  • No. 16: A.J. Epenesa, DE, Iowa
  • No. 29: Tyler Biadasz, OL, Wisconsin
  • No. 32: Yetur Gross-Matos, DE, Penn State

Young was considered to be the most dominant player in college football this season, but the emergence of LSU’s Joe Burrow may have the quarterback going No. 1 overall later this spring.

There are still some decisions yet to be made and the NFL Combine is still awaiting, so the mock drafts will change several times over the next few months. We’ll see how much this changes by the time the draft rolls around.
