OT: Shilique Calhoun returns to MSU

Not surprised by it. By all accounts from what I've been hearing is NFL consider him a late 2nd to early 3rd round prospect, not 1st rounders that many mock have him at. Throw in the fact that edge rusher is a deep class which pushes him down in the draft.

I thought Calhoun was going to be the one to leave, with Trae Waynes opting to return.
I'm sure that's what MSU wanted, too, if they had to pick. They have the talent on the O-Line to replace Calhoun...they have absolutely nobody to replace Waynes, tho.

Waynes has always been considered a 1st rounder throughout the season. Not so with Calhoun. Waynes is a better prospect than his former teammate, Dennard, and has bigger upside.

I...whatever.
Might as well double down on the dumb statements and say Devin Gardner was a sleeper agent sent to destroy Michigan from the QB position once Lewan left.

He needs more tattoos before I get impressed.

I'm a little surprised, as I'm not sure how much higher up his stock will go. At this point NFL guys have watched his development and must know his ceiling. Another year in college won't change the fact he's a good DE but not dominant, that most of his bigger plays were due to forced fumbles/INTs that are far more random than reproducable, and recent MSU linemen have underwhelmed in the NFL. I guess the thinking is he might have a breakout last year and get a bounce up the board, but I wonder if MSU's passing defense will take an even bigger step back next year when they lose Waynes and Drummond, and that could affect his sack totals even more. But again, as a Michigan fan I'm not really worried about his return having a dramatic effect on the 2015 season.

Secondary will be even weaker next year after already being a weak point this year. Will have a new DC. I believe they lose Marcus Rush? who was a very good DE opposite him. He may very well have worse year and there really is not much differencein the second or third round. Teams will more than likely not cut you because you're still a high draft pick and still a roudn where they expect to get a starter.
