CBS Sports "super early" look at top 100 prospects for 2019 NFL draft
Yes, it's very early to be thinking about the 2019 NFL draft, but this guy's projection is interesting partly because it contains four Michigan players (Gary at #3, Winovich at #42, Bush at #47, and Hill at #77).
You'll also see several players from teams on the 2018 schedule.
Alex Bars (younger brother of former Michigan player Blake and an ND lineman) is on the list. So, too, is Larry Allen III ( http://americansportsnet.com/ivy-league/harvard-crimson/in-his-fathers-… ), son of the legendary Dallas Cowboy Larry Allen (II, I guess).

No Shea on the list is odd.
Gary at 3 is solid. I would hate to have to try and block him this year.
Bosa at 1... yeah prolly not.
That's gotta be an oversight. Other places have him going high in the 1st round, which would be great for us. Walterfootball.com has him #1.
as draft source since it's the worst one out there and he is a hack with make up sources.
steal your dog or woman?
a lot of draft insiders and scouts thinks Walter Football is a joke and a hack.
I’m no draft insider, but completely agree that Walter football is garbage. Never use their fantasy football rankings either, unless you like finishing in the bottom half of your league.
Bosa at #1 isn’t far-fetched at all.
Bosa length would keep him from 1st overall pick can he get around lond armed NFL tackles is a huge question with Nick Bosa
of his older brother, Joey Bosa with similar athleticism, hand usage and pass rush prowness. Bosa went top 5 and is one of the best DE in the league. He'll be fine
We will have a good haul in the 2019 draft. The 2020 draft is where we will really make some waves, though. If we have a B1G championship season and playoff appearance, we will likely have more early entrants. I will take that scenario over a disappointing season and seniors coming back tring to make things right. Bush would be a tiny NFL linebacker, but he is so athletic and explosive that it almost does not matter.
Considering his height, #47 seems extremely optimistic for Bush. #80-100 seems more likely, even if he has an All-Big Ten season, as expected.
The other guys draft positions seem more plausible.
would disagree with him being undersized.
even Dat Nguyen is impressed with that one.
who will do extremely well in college, in Don Brown's system, but who has some drawbacks as an NFL prospect.
Bush looks like the prototypical Tampa-2 Linebacker. With the Colts, Tampa, and Dallas still running this scheme, one of them will probably take a 2nd round shot at him.
That he'll find a spot in the right system, but for a lot of NFL teams, he'll be a tweener.
When the number of teams who you fit with is limited, and they have other needs to fill too, that's when you can drop.
they don't run Tampa 2 anymore. That was phased out.
U N D E R R A T E D
They will do very well on this team, in Don Brown's system, but they are not the kind of lock-down corners that NFL teams draft in the first round. Maybe that's a mistake, or not fair, but it will probably end up being the case.
They excel at man coverage (Don Brown's system), and both will run in the 4.4s. If they aren't what they NFL looks for in corners then i dont know what they are looking for these days. Long will probably go before Hill because he's 6'0 but both will definitely be off the board by the end of Round 3.
But first round, I'd be surprised. And I'm not sure those guys have really been tested yet. How many really good QB/WR combos did we face last year?
Curious as to why you don't think they are potential first round picks. Only have to look at our rivals to see that Lattimore and Waynes went #11 and Dennard went #24 recently. All are pretty similar in size, at least close enough that it won't make much of a difference. Lewis was shorter and was almost a first round lock until he caught a case right before the draft.
CBSSports have 10+ guys that do their own "2019 mocks,2019 prospects" this guy is the only one ive seen that doesnt have Shea in the top 20 picks,hes ranked anywhere from 1-25 in all the mocks ive seen
