As each Ohio State player comes off the board over the three days of the NFL draft, the Buckeyes' already shiny recruiting brochure gets glossier. Like travel agents advertising a tropical vacation package, OSU coaches have the ability to pitch an irresistible offer: "Want to someday visit a professional football paradise? Play in the Horseshoe, and all your NFL dreams can come true." Even if not all 16 draft-eligible Buckeyes get selected, the overall numbers still scream louder than over-caffeinated Kerry Coombs. Ohio State entered the draft tied with Southern California for the most first-round picks with 81. That's a ton of talent coming out of Columbus, from Orlando Pace to Chase Young. And coaches unabashedly sell that success.

"Does the NFL come up (during recruiting)? Absolutely. That is part of it," Ohio State running backs coach Tony Alford said. "It's not the main part of it for me, but we definitely have had success at our position, and all positions." I always roll my eyes at purists who criticize colleges for luring high school players with the bait of an NFL career. The main point of college is career preparation. Football recruiting is no different from academic admissions in art or engineering. Go after the best by promoting a profitable future. "I'm not interested in being around anybody who doesn't want to be the absolute best in the world at what they do," said Coombs, who serves as defensive coordinator in his second stint at Ohio State. "The measuring stick for us in this profession is to be chosen by the group at the next level at being the best at what you do. That's what a first-round draft pick represents." - Columbus Dispatch
