Would you draft Zeke @24?

Also I think it's a little ridiculous to say we have one of the best 1-2 punches when it was really just a 1 punch all last season. Let's be honest, Hill has about half a season of good play in 2 years in the league. 

Also he will not be a bust in the NFL as someone said, no doubt in my mind he'll be a stud and better than Hill. Not to sound like I hate hill or anything, just that Zeke would be a noticeable upgrade.  

That said i wouldn't take him either unless all of the top LB's, DT's, and WR's were gobbled up before our pick. 

A ton of people on these boards over-value Ohio State players. It just comes with nature since many of these members are huge Ohio State fans, so they want to see those players flourish in their favorite professional team.

Nope, disagree. It was still a very good 1-2 punch in both the passing and running game. While Hill had an underwhelming season, he still tied for 1st overall with rushing TDs. He also tied for most rushing TDs within the 10 yard line.
Hill and Gio combined for over 1,500 rushing yards. Gio had over 1,200 rushing and receiving yards. Hill had over 800 rushing and receiving yards.
That's 2,000 total yards from both players with 14 TDs.

I also disagree that Zeke will be a bust. I think he will be a fine rusher in the league. But like you said, we have much more pressing needs. Hill is 23 and Gio is 24. We have two young guys we spent high draft picks on. We have other places to look.
