With three weeks until the NFL draft, Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr. are stretching things out a bit.
Both put together three mock drafts so far, but none of them went into the second round.
On Wednesday, ESPN released a two-round mock draft by the two experts. Ironically enough, they had nearly the same group of former B1G players coming off the board. The only B1G prospect that McShay and Kiper disagreed on was Curtis Samuel.
In total, the duo only had four B1G schools (Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin) represented. Eleven former B1G prospects made the cut.
Here was Kiper’s two-round mock:
PICK, TEAM | B1G PLAYER, POSITION | SCHOOL |
---|---|---|
3. Chicago Bears | Malik Hooker, S | Ohio State |
5. Tennessee Titans | Marshon Lattimore, CB | Ohio State |
14. Philadelphia Eagles | Gareon Conley, CB | Ohio State |
20. Denver Broncos | Ryan Ramczyk, OT | Wisconsin |
28. Dallas Cowboys | Jabrill Peppers, S | Michigan |
31. Atlanta Falcons | Taco Charlton, DE | Michigan |
41. Cincinnati Bengals | Malik McDowell, DT | Michigan State |
43. Philadelphia Eagles | Curtis Samuel, WR | Ohio State |
45. Arizona Cardinals | Jourdan Lewis, CB | Michigan |
58. Seattle Seahawks | T.J. Watt, OLB | Wisconsin |
62. Pittsburgh Steelers | Chris Wormley, DT | Michigan |
And here was McShay’s two-round mock:
PICK, TEAM | B1G PLAYER, POSITION | SCHOOL |

5. Tennessee Titans | Malik Hooker, S | Ohio State |
10. Buffalo Bills | Marshon Lattimore, CB | Ohio State |
22. Miami Dolphins | Gareon Conley, CB | Ohio State |
23. New York Giants | Malik McDowell, DT | Michigan State |
25. Houston Texans | Ryan Ramczyk, OT | Wisconsin |
28. Dallas Cowboys | Taco Charlton, DE | Michigan |
31. Atlanta Falcons | Jabrill Peppers, S | Michigan |
41. Cincinnati Bengals | T.J. Watt, OLB | Wisconsin |
