If there was one common theme for Michigan in the 2026 Draft, it was the former Wolverines finding homes with familiar faces. Let's take a look at where all the Wolverines landed, even the undrafted free agents (UDFA).
-Derrick Moore to the Detroit Lions in the 2nd Round. Staying home!
-Marlin Klein to the Houston Texans in the 2nd Round to play with Nico!
-Jaishawn Barham to the Dallas Cowboys in the 3rd where many Wolverines have been drafted!
-Jimmy Rolder to the Detroit Lions in the 4th round. Staying home!
-Max Bredeson to the Minnesota Vikings in the 5th, to play with JJ and who was even at his draft party!
-Rayshaun Benny to the Baltimore Ravens in the 7th to play for Coach Minter!
Recap: Finally the Lions start fishing from the local pond and pick up two talented Wolverines. Marlin had a great combine which I think shot him up some draft boards, he is still nowhere near his ceiling. Max is a perfect fit in Minnesota and Jesse Minter does Rayshaun a solid!
Special Note, very happy for former Michigan TE Matt Hibner, he spent 4 years on the roster and caught two passes behind some great Michigan TE's. He went to SMU last year and had a very good year and was drafted in the 4th round, by guess who? Jesse Minter!
UDFA:
-Z signs with NY Giants and John Harbaugh
-McCulley to the Dolphins and owner Stephen Ross
-Tommy Doman (transferred to FL) to the Bills
-Nikhai Hill Green (transferred to Charlotte, Colorado, Alabama) to the Rams
-TJ Guy to Ravens and Coach Minter
-Damon Payne to KC
Happy for all the players that found a home. Also the sad story of Ernie Hausman continues and it will be interesting to see if he gets an invite for a tryout. Offensive lineman El-Hadi and Crippen and DT Tre Williams are still waiting for a UDFA contract or an invite to a Rookie Camp.
