Todd McShay Mock Draft 2.0: Big Ten lands 15 picks in new 2-round projection

Todd McShay has come out with his latest mock draft projection of the NFL Draft, and the ESPN analyst has pegged 2 rounds of players. The Big Ten landed 7 in the first round, and 8 in the second round.

In what is becoming a consensus, McShay pegged Michigan pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson to the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 1 overall.

“Best player available. Big need. Perfect match. Jacksonville tied for the fifth-fewest sacks in 2021 (32), and its 27.8% pressure rate ranked No. 20 in the NFL. Hutchinson would instantly provide the Jaguars with a relentless, explosive disrupter on the edge opposite Josh Allen.”

McShay then has the dynamic Ohio State wide receivers going next as Zach Wilson and Carson Wentz look to find new No. 1 targets.

Here’s a list of all the Big Ten projections:

1. Aidan Hutchinson, DE, Michigan, Jacksonville Jaguars
4. Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State, New York Jets
11. Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State, Washington Commanders
22. Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State, Green Bay Packers
24. George Karlaftis, DE, Purdue, Dallas Cowboys
30. Boye Mafe, OLB, Minnesota, Kansas City Chiefs
31. Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa, Cincinnati Bengals

34. Daxton Hill, S, Michigan, Detroit Lions
35. Arnold Ebiketie, DE, Penn State, New York Jets
51. David Ojabo, OLB, Michigan, Philadelphia Eagles
52. Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn State, Pittsburgh Steelers
57. Kenneth Walker III, RB, Michigan State, Buffalo Bills
61. Nick Cross, S, Maryland, San Francisco 49ers
63. Leo Chenal, ILB, Wisconsin, Cincinnati Bengals
64. Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota, Denver Broncos
