PFF Top 101 players of 2016 includes 5 Wolverines
https://www.profootballfocus.com/college-pff-101-best-players-fournette…
Let's all just appreciate the fact that, according to these guys, Lewis, Peppers, and Hurst are all better than every single player on Ohio State. Michigan's five players on this list is second only to Alabama with seven.
7 - Jourdan Lewis
16 - Jabrill Peppers
27 - Maurice Hurst
31 - Chris Wormley
72 - Ryan Glasgow
I heard Gary came in at #102.
Who the hell is that ?? Might as well be some UM fan in his garage.
No Butt?
This was my question too. I get Gary not being ranked as a true freshman but arguably the best TE in the country can't crack a top 100 list?
That's the one surprising omission on our side, however the list doesn't include any tight ends so they must just inherently not grade out highly in the sites system.
I know that it's greedy, and probably won't impact the D-Line too much because of depth, but I REALLY wish that Willie Henry had come back this year.
Not gonna be the last guy we lose early now that we've got a staff that can recruit and develop at a high level. It would've been nice to have him. But given the depth on DL, I'm happier that Lewis and Butt stayed than I am sad that Henry left.
I know PFFs metrics favor them, but Wormley and Hurst seem awfully high. Obviously they are good but considering this is all players, their respective positions has to put each in the top 5 of their position group. Seems a bit high
LOL. Great!!!
I think Wormley is a lil high and Butt should be on there

Not many Buckeyes on that list. Hopefully they have a down year and some of those recruits start to look elsewhere.
Their 2017 class is looking to be rather good.
Let's hope so because that class is absolutely loaded.
Three of our guys appear before the first Buckeye. Nice.
And according to Harbaugh Mone is better than at least three of those Wolverines
Is that a pendulum I feel swinging?
Feeling light-headed?
I appreciate the compliment but I think that you may have misunderstood.
What's the deal Ed Davis? Have seen a couple posts pointing out that (A) he really doesn't qualify for a 6th year, and secondly, MSU has yet to even put the application into the NCAA. Seems like the rest of the world is taking for granted that he will play this fall.
He dressed in many games throughout 2011 (one of his medical RS years) which suggests he wasn't really injured. Tons of evidence here:

Clearly he is getting the Butt end of this deal!
Go ahead, see if this puts a chip on his huge shoulder. (Laughs knowingly)
Clearly he is getting the Butt end of this deal!
I happen to think this isn't entirely accurate. Butt and Jehu aren't playing this year? Damnit I'm gonna miss them guys.
Edit: Oh yeah, and Jimmy cracked corn bitches. Get it? Passing Academy Champ anyone for $5000?
Jehu is cracking Top 3 lists for WRs.
Of course this list is not entirely accurate, but I'll favor this any day over a list by someone who picks players based simply on his perception of them. It's crazy how players can get under or over rated because of how the media or fans talk about them.
Top 10 Defense!
Top 10 ? Anything less than top 2 and I will be disappointed. Great talent and great coaching will equal an amazing group.
Agreed, although I wouldn't be disappointed with a top five finish so long as we beat our rivals, and our horses don't go down with injuries at key points in the season like last year.

Top 10??? Based on those rankings we have the best defense in the country
