Really feel bad for Hurst though. Hope he ends up being fine and destroys the league for the next 10 years.

Because you're so invested in another player that you completely ignore Mason Cole, the player who is being honored in this thread.

Congratulations, Mason Cole.

What an honor it is to have a thread on the MGoBlog message board. Mason Cole must be swelling with pride to join the ranks of apparel threads, posbangs, and Game of Thrones discussions (with spoilers).

Three to four years ago that sounded right (early round projection). Now, that he most likely will be developed properly at one position, he should end up having a long NFL career.

It is nice to see a selfless teammate who continually moved away from his most naturally dominant position for the sake of the team. I hope that his selflessness is rewarded with a long career as a versatile and effective lineman. Congrats Mason!

Hurst is a victim of paranoia about his health, but the draft is demonstrating that the cupboard wasn’t exactly full when Harbaugh took over.

Harbaugh's transformative ability, obviously.

Either that or the number of starters graduating correlates to the number who may be drafted.

Wasn’t the case? There are only like 6 Michigan players even eligible to be drafted this year. That doesn’t demonstrate lack of recruiting. It’s the product of a small recruiting class that faced injuries and attrition.

I think this draft more demonstrates how young Michigan was last season and the fact that Michigan only has a QB (O’Korn, fat chance), G/C (Cole), G/C (Kugler likely undrafted), a DT (Hurst with health issues) and a LB (McCray, possible late pick) that are even eligible to be drafted. I do believe the cupboards were pretty bare when Hoke arrived in terms of depth and actual number of players at certain positions, but that has nothing to do with the draft. This draft shows nothing more than how young of a team Michigan has.

While I'm as pissed as anyone about Hurst being overlooked, it really isn't surprising. NFL GMs are the most risk-averse people on the planet. If a player doesn't fit their preconceived notions of a sure pick, they won't get drafted. Mo's heart scare has unfairly doomed him.

He’ll get drafted today for sure, though. It’s unfortunate that this came up as it’s cost him a lot of money, but at a certain point in the draft GMs decide it’s worth taking a flier on him.

If it works out, they got a first round talent for a steal. If it doesn’t, well, you only lost a fourth or fifth round pick out of it. I can’t imagine him slipping past the fifth round. Some GM will sit there and say he’s worth the risk at this point.

Hoping to see Mo get drafted soon along with you.

80 straight years of Michigan Men getting drafted into the NFL! More than any other school! That is certainly not a stat to shy away from.

Happy for Cole, he deserves it. But as said above, what the f*ck???? Mo will be fine, but it’s absolute bs he hasn’t been drafted. He’ll make his money on his second contract for sure, but I really feel for him. He’s worked his ass off and deserved better. I get maybe falling to the second round, but this is one of the strangest things I’ve seen in the draft in quite a while.
