Michigan Friday: A Daft Draft

That was a strange opening night of the NFL Draft, it was a huge crowd but seemed to lack energy and then the picks started to roll in.  Here are a few things I questioned:

• Tate was OSU's #2 WR and was picked #4 in the draft.  Has a college teams second best WR ever been taken #4 in the NFL Draft?

• OSU had some really good players, must be the coaching that they didn't do better last season?

• The NFL are drunk on QB's, taking Ty Simpson #13 is just dumb.  He can't help the Rams next season and is a 2nd round talent. Who has played 15 college football games.

• KC trading picks to move up for the LSU CB, why?

• The Lions had some decent choices for OT's and seemed to pick one with a ton of experience

• Bama's Kaden Procter has a huge upside but struggles with his weight and focus, many are predicting a bust.  Sounds like the perfect Dolphins draft pick. 

• ND had both RB's drafted in the first round.  

• Michigan's new OL coach had two players drafted on Thursday! Including the top OT!

Michigan Players expected to get drafted:

• Derrick Moore 3rd Round 
• Rayshaun Benny 3rd - 7th grade 
• Jaishawn Barham has a 4th round grade
• Marlin Klein TE Round 4-5 Grade 
• TJ Guy has a day 3 late round grade 
• Donaven McCulley when on a top 30 visit but is expected to be a Day 3 pick up. 
• Jimmy Rolder, Round 5-7  
• Dominic Zvada Free Agent 
• Max Bredeson Free Agent

Michigan Basketball got a talented but often injured power forward out of the Portal from LSU in 6'10 245 pound Jalen Reed.  Jalen is coming off back to back season ending injuries but is a talented player if he can stay healthy.
