Michigan's Possible Draft Picks
So I was doing some looking at various mock drafts and I came across one that has 9 Michigan players in the first 4 rounds. Some of them are interesting. I feel like if there really is 9 in the first 4 rounds Michigan might be able to reach 15 in total. We have a tie with Bama and LSU for picks.
10. Jabrill Peppers
25. Jake Butt
52. Jourdan Lewis
59. KYLE KALIS *****
62. Jehu Chesson
71. Ryan Glagsow (they spell it wrong)
95. Mason Cole
102. Chris Wormley
124. Erik Magnuson
I am utterly confused by Kalis at 59. If he turns the corner maybe but guards aren't drafted very highly and this would put him at the number 2 guard in the draft. I think Lewis is undervalued, and same goes for Wormley and Glagsow. Wormley looks to be a strong prospect going no later than the second round. To get to the 15 that I stated above, I could see Darboh, Hurst, Thomas, Deveon, Hill, and Charlton getting drafted as well.

It is really confusing. I could see Magnuson and Kalis getting drafted but it would be more likely a 6th or 7th round pick. Mason Cole is our best lineman but he is going 36 picks after Kalis and only 28 picks before Magnuson.

I pray that Cole and Hurst come back.

You were smooth as silk in how you were able to weave that into the fabric of the discussion.

I wouldn't be surprised is Taco worked his way into the second round, 1st might be a little high but who knows. I just choose this example because it was one of the longer mocks I've seen so far. I usually only see 1 or 2 rounds and that is it.

The bigger issue with Cole is that if that number gets high enough he may actually leave next year.
September 14th, 2016 at 7:12 PM ^
If you are talking about Cole, he is a Junior. He never took a RS.
September 14th, 2016 at 7:27 PM ^
come back, especially given that he is new to the position. Would be big for OL as there will be many new faces starting next year.

(drafted by the Lions), he'll probably quit football.

Every time I see your avatar I think it's the Alkaline Trio Maybe I'll Catch Fire cover. Yours is happier. Just letting you know.
Anyway, have a good day.

Peppers is not ready yet. He needs one more year after this year.

I was thinking the same about Mason Cole

Another 10 lbs of muscle? Where would he even put it??
Seriously though, the one area where Jabrill realistically could stand to improve is his skills in coverage, but I have no doubt he'll be working on that that from an NFL roster by this time next year.

A couple of years ago Peppers did say that people don't need to worry about him leaving before he had earned his degree.

THIS.. Peppers is a really intelligent guy and apparently has a photographic memory. I believe him when he says he won't leave without his degree, the question is whether he gets it in 3 yrs or 4 yrs.. my money is on him graduating early and taking his talents to the first round of the 2017 NFL draft.
September 14th, 2016 at 6:35 PM ^
The one that scares me is Mason Cole.
Never even thought of him leaving gor NFL.
September 14th, 2016 at 6:36 PM ^

What makes you say that? Raw physical ability is very important in the draft, and Kalis has it in spades. Maybe scouts think that his targeting issues won't be a problem when there's more coaching time to address them.

His mental miscues are glaring though. Yes, we can attribute some of that to the previous coaching staff but to have him rated so high based on just physical potential is a bit surprising. OL is a position where your football IQ needs to be high, you can't just get along not knowing what you're doing for long in the NFL.

OSU lost nine players with eligibility remaining. I predict we'll lose one, two at the most.
September 14th, 2016 at 7:54 PM ^
September 14th, 2016 at 9:30 PM ^
It refers to people leaving and OSU just saw a ton of players leave early.

Site isn't worth the electricitty it takes to keep it running.
Wormley is a lower first round pick.
September 14th, 2016 at 7:06 PM ^
Lots of guards and centers are drafted in the first round every year, just not in the top 5 picks, generally.
I suspect that our draft class will grow as the season progresses, especially in regards to our offensive skill positions, Once the touchdowns start adding up the offensive players will have more attention grabbing totals, and overcome the ball being shared by so many diverse players.
September 15th, 2016 at 12:19 PM ^
114 points in 2 games. Methinks the Tds have already started addng up.
