The Silver Bullets Podcast is back for its April offseason episode, but the sad addendum is that it is our last episode.
We have enjoyed discussing Ohio State football over the years and putting our unique spin on breaking down games, celebrating great performances, analyzing the schedule, predicting the Big Ten finishes and Ohio State’s game each week, and all the other things we’ve done. However, all good things…
We start our final episode with a review of the 2026 Ohio State spring game, in which
Chris Henry Jr. showed he’s a man among boys. We discussed the format, the big plays, the scoring, some of the key guys who were missing, and who stood out in the team’s annual glorified scrimmage.
It’s always interesting to see where the young guys are in their development, and we think Henry will get on the field early, especially when the Buckeyes get into the red zone. He’s just too imposing a target with his height, jumping ability, and catch radius for Arthur Smith and Ryan Day not to use in those situations.
It was a rainy day, which may have contributed to some of the sloppiness, but it was nice to see a kicker make two of his three field goals of 40+ yards in those conditions, even though it wasn’t a real game.
After our spring game discussion, we turned our attention toward the 2026 NFL Draft. We go through every Buckeye’s landing spot in the draft, discuss how those teams fit the guys who drafted them, and talk about some of the records Ohio State set or tied along the way in having 11 guys taken — four in the first round and seven in the first two rounds — just one year after seeing 14 Buckeyes picked by NFL clubs.
It has been a truly impressive era in Ohio State football for many reasons, but the talent funneling through Columbus to the Sunday league has been insane.
And that’s a wrap on our show. Thank you so much to everyone who listened to us over the years, and a big thank you to the leadership team here at Land-Grant Holy Land for giving us a home over the last two of those years.
We’ve enjoyed being here and bringing you our thoughts on Ohio State football, and while we’ll certainly miss doing this, especially this fall when the games are being played, it’s time for us to say goodbye.
If you want to reach out to us now or in the future, please feel free to send us an email. While we can’t answer you on the show, since there isn’t one anymore, we can write back.
As always, thanks for listening!
0:20 – The 2026 edition of the annual OSU spring game had its heroes, as always, and we try to spotlight those players who stood out, and discuss how the defense always has an advantage in this annual scrimmage.
31:27- The NFL Draft saw 11 Buckeyes find new football homes, and some of those guys picked among the highest will be seeing each other twice every season in the Sunday league, because they got drafted into the same division.
