TIGHT END: IT'S BEEN FOUR YEARS AND I HAVEN'T COME UP WITH A GOOD REFERENCE

RATING: 4.5

Depth Chart

You write about things on the internet and you're like "oh dude this guy's last name is a common English word" and then absolutely nothing comes to you. Nothing good, anyway.

This position group has two established senior starters who are on NFL radars, plus a couple of sixth-year guys who will chip in and a horde of younger folks lifting weights and biding their time. The only thing separating this spot from a 5 in our ratings is the lack of an out-and-out All-American sort. Seth thinks Michigan has one but that's an opinion that's not (yet) shared by others, who consistently rank Michigan's tight ends in the 6-15 range nationally.

That's still pretty good. Michigan can go five wide when that's advantageous and they can beef up when that's advantageous. It's all about flexibility.

ALL IN THE FAMILY?

moment of the season [Patrick Barron]

Bah. That sucks, unlike ERICK ALL. When you do the UFRs you find guys, and then you bang on the table for your guys. My first guy was David Molk, who reached all those mofos in the Rodriguez years. Seth's guy was All. He was already pleading for All to get All Big Ten nods after the Ohio State game…

… it’s a crying shame that people are looking at Peyton Hendersot, who does not block, and Barry Alvarez’s grandson, who had a terrible season, over Erick All for the all-Big Ten tight end. I would hear you out if you talked about Nebraska’s guy, but Erick All has done more for Michigan’s running game this year than any lineman, the last bit of it while injured.

…and then he was more or less the only Michigan player who looked like he could whoop Georgia's ass if he just had ten clones:

All's UFR numbers are eyepopping.
