Analyzing transfer-portal movement, previewing Buckeyes in NFL Draft

COLUMBUS — Roster-management season is in full swing for football.

At the college level, that means Ohio State players are entering the transfer portal and the coaching staff is evaluating whether there are any possible fits to bring in to supplement the lineup this year.

In the NFL, it’s time for the Draft — which will feature another handful of Buckeyes on the move after wrapping up their careers on campus and preparing to make the transition to the professional ranks.

The Lettermen Live crew took a closer look at the impact for Ohio State on both fronts during a fun, casual conversation at Roosters on Monday. And with former Buckeyes Bobby Carpenter and Justin Zwick joined by Lettermen Row staffers Austin Ward and Spencer Holbrook along with Nicole Cox of Roosters, there was plenty of ground covered talking about the next moves for the program.

With a handful of Buckeyes already entering the transfer portal ahead of the May deadline and a couple projected first-round picks looking to come off the board on Thursday night at the NFL Draft, that was where the chat started — but certainly not where it ended.

Among the other discussion points at Roosters:

• The glorious return of spring weather to Central Ohio.
• How the Ohio State depth chart might be impacted by the transfer portal.
• The importance of the movie Draft Day.
• Mozzarella sticks as the Appetizer Tuesday selection this week.
• Plenty of unexpected detours and pop-culture references, as always when the Lettermen Live crew gets together to start the week off right with some delicious food and great company.

As always, Lettermen Live is hosted by Roosters on Olentangy River Road in Columbus.
