Against OSU I hope he plays 80% of the snaps. Put him and Hutch at ends move Paye inside with Kemp and use Ross McGrone and Hudson on passing downs.

Does anyone think The Game is meaningless though?  It's understandable to think a non-playoff bowl is meaningless, because it pretty much is. 

The Game matters a lot more and even if Michigan won't make the playoff or win the B1G, there will still be stakes on the game.  Michigan has a chance to potentially put OSU out of the playoff.  So it does matter.

Good for him. Was hoping he would stick it out one more year (assuming the redshirt) and get himself to a higher round. 


What’s he looking at now?  Third or fourth?

They have a lot of growth they need to do to get there, sure. But they are currently on pace to get there eventually. Haskins is a redshirt freshman, and he's shown flashes. Bell is just a true sophomore, but he's outproducing three NFL talents at his position, and as someone that was just a basketball player three years ago, he's only scratching the surface of his potential.

Haskins yes.  Bell only has years because it's literally a requirement that he play at least another year. He'd get drafted if he were eligible this year. Probably 6th or 7th round.  He's the best all-around receiver on a team full of 4 and 5 stars.

I don't know that I'd go so far as to say he's the "best all-around receiver".  I mean, Nico Collins exists, and he's pretty good.  But otherwise, yeah, he has earned his targets with fearless route running and a great ability to catch the ball wherever it arrives.  Now if he can clean up the occasional drops we can rely on, then he could legitimately challenge Collins for that title.

Not sure where the Steelers would put him if Dupree re-ups (he may be unaffordable now that he’s finally having a monster year). Watt on the other side and Uche is not remotely a 3-4 end. 

If Dupree splits though, sure, worth a 3rd-4th rounder easily.

So we lose Uche, Hill, Glasgow, Metalus, and Kemp off the D with Paye probably being the only possible early entry. Is Dwumfour for sure coming back?

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why couldn't he come back during his first year of grad school? Is that not literally what grad transfers do, if they have a year of eligibility? Per https://www.seniorbowl.com/the-game/frequently-asked-questions/:

Each year, the Senior Bowl rosters feature the nation's top senior collegiate football players and NFL draft prospects on teams representing the North and South. Only college seniors and fourth-year junior graduates are eligible for the game. Fourth-year junior graduates must have graduated by the December prior to the game to be eligible.

It was already a question of if he had any eligibility left.  Redshirts weren't so cut and dry when he was a freshmen and Harbaugh likes to burn them on garbage time and special teams   (he does seem to be doing a better job of saving redshirts with the new rules though).  This just to point to confirmation that he didn't have any eligibility left.  Otherwise it seems odd to declare you are going pro when you still have three games left to play.  I literally can not think of another player that declared pro with this much time left in the season outside of guys with injuries like Bosa.
