Success of the 2007 UM NFL Draft class

In a word...DAMN!!!

 

 

From Adam Schefter
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/page/10spot-11week1/nfl-always-2011-promises-surprise
 

4. Former Wolverines strike it rich:Take pride, Lloyd Carr: No draft class in college history has produced the type of contracts that Michigan's Class of 2007 has.

 

This summer alone, former first-round pick Leon Hall signed a four-year, $39 million extension with the Bengals; former second-round pick LaMarr Woodleysigned a six-year, $61.5 million extension with the Steelers; former second-round pick David Harris signed a four-year, $36 million extension with the Jets; former second-round pick Alan Branch signed a two-year, $9 million deal with the Seahawks; and former fifth-round pickSteve Breaston signed a five-year, $20 million deal with the Chiefs.

All together, Michigan's draft class of 2007 earned $165.5 million worth of contracts this summer.

I think we will head back to those days where we send a few guys a year to the NFL, specifically via the first three rounds!

I think we have a few guys who will get drafted and go on to have NFL careers right now. But IMO, our next top 10 pick and NFL stud will be Taylor Lewan. If he puts on a few more pounds and curbs his penalties, he looks like a perfect NFL LT.

Hasn't there been a lot of talk about MM getting up there in the draft as well? He has the crazy measurables. I'll admit that I don't know where center's are taken, but Molk has been consistantly talked about as a top three center as well.

Molk is considered by some to be the top center (or awfully close to it) in next year's draft... However, centers are not usually taken in the 1st round unless they are a unique talent. I think he has legit 2nd-round potential.

Unfortunately, Martin is

Unfortunately, Martin is missing about 40lbs on his measureables. The NFL seems to want space-eaters so badly that they'll look over a guy who's in the Warren Sapp slasher/disrupter mold.

I didn't realize he was that undersized for the NFL. I'd bet anything that there won't be more than one or two people out performing him at the combine, though.

He's not that undersized,

He's not that undersized, he's over 300 lbs and has very little bad weight. 

For comparison:

MGoBlue Roster:  Mike Martin - 6'2" 304lb

Lions Roster: Ndamukong Suh - 6'4" 307lb, Nick Fairley - 6'3" 291lb.  

Martin is a 4th year senior, and is at the age where putting on a few pounds a year is still realistic.  He's not undersized.

Yeah, but he hasn't had their level of production yet. If he has a Senior year like Fairley, he'll be a really high pick. JustinGoBlue is right, he'll be a workout warrior at the combine, but unless he has excellent production this year, he'll probably be relegated to the late 2nd/early 3rd round. That's still really awesome, but not top-10 level like Suh and Fairley.

Yeah, Lewan just seems like a star, doesn't he? I don't know that I'd rather have any left tackle out there over him right now, given that he has two more years in school. He just looks awesome out there.

Brings back the fond memories of the 06 defense. Couldn't have asked for a better, more exciting crew to watch every Saturday. Can't wait for Greg to get us back to those days

You can have '06.

You do remember what happened against Ohio and USC, right?

It's time to make some new memories.  Michigan was extremely fortunate to get Greg Mattison to come back.  Hopefully, he will combine the strengths of the "old days" with the ability to defend the spread, and the ability to defend Ohio and USC.

If that happens, there could be a BCS Championship game in near future.

Does have that mini-UM helmet in his office. So it's nice for him to represent either in print or on TV.

How did we lose to USC?

In hindsight, I don't think there is a more disappointing outcome I can think of than seeing Ron English take a team full of NFL stars and get outsmarted by Lane Kiffin.

that game was so fucking painful.  I drove all the back from Pasadena to Colorado trying to figure out what the hell happened.  Didn't help hearing the USC players saying the KNEW what was coming because we were so predictable.
