With the 49ers taking Ronnie Bell with the 253rd pick, every eligible Wolverine has been drafted. That's 9 players total, including 4 in the first two days.

Go Blue!

Just look at this beautiful NFL webpage....

Look at the #22 (and much-maligned, at least prior to this decade) recruiting class of 2018:

Of the twenty players:

  • Eight have been drafted in one of the past three drafts. (Three of those guys and a famous kicker were in the bottom quarter of the class.)
  • One from this year (Green) will likely get a UDFA opportunity (like Vincent Gray last year).
  • Michael Barrett remains and could possibly be the ninth player drafted next year.
  • A bunch of transfers (Upshaw, Welschof, and Milton at least) still have eligibility remaining.
  • Not that we want to talk about Sparty, but BVS was considered a possible draftee this year.

Interesting. 
 

All Niners, Cowboys, Seahawks, Bengals plus a Dolphin. 

Maybe the coaches respect Harbaugh’s development?  Certainly Seattle does.

These 9 were drafted, and Gemon Green signed with the NY Giants undrafted.  Of the 11 Wolverines who registered for the draft, only Joel Honigford is loose at this point.  Somebody needs to Pump It Up and sign him!

Player Development.  That’s what NFL teams like about Michigan athletes.  Character.  That’s what NFL teams love about Michigan athletes.
