Could Michigan Football have more than one first-round selection?
We are around 2.5 months from the NFL draft, in what ought to be a fantastic week for Michigan football and its fans. The Wolverines have a genuine shot at breaking the record for most draft picks in a year, which is right now 15, set by Georgia in 2022. The Wolverines likewise have numerous expected first-rounders, with one making a flood through the rankings. We should investigate.
The rundown clearly begins with quarterback JJ McCarthy. While he didn’t set up crazy details at Michigan, everyone realizes he has a NFL range of abilities. He is a close reliable first-rounder, and there are even reports that NFL leaders are a lot higher on McCarthy than the media, possibly opening him in the best 10.
Every interview McCarthy enters seems to be a foregone conclusion, and teams are aware that he is a player who can change a culture. Everyone realizes that McCarthy can possibly be a NFL star. The main inquiries are about a portion of his dull exhibitions at Michigan.
While a lot of that can probably be credited to the style of offense, there were some head scratching minutes from McCarthy all through the season, for example, tossing it directly to Caleb Downs on the primary play of the Rose Bowl.
Things like that will probably keep McCarthy from being the main quarterback off the board, as Jim Harbaugh anticipated, however there is a genuine contention for McCarthy as the second or third quarterback off the board; McCarthy just turned 21 and is a demonstrated champ. McCarthy might make a lot of sense with a team like Minnesota or Atlanta.
McCarthy isn’t the main imaginable first-rounder. Following an enormous Senior Bowl execution, Roman Wilson is becoming discussed as a potential first-round draft pick. Wilson would be the main Michigan football recipient drafted in the principal round under Jim Harbaugh.
Roman Wilson was also harmed by Michigan’s run-first offense, but the star receiver has recently been standing out against the competition. Wilson was one of the most incredible players during Senior Bowl practice, and a decent NFL consolidate could harden Wilson as a first rounder.
As an enlist, Roman Wilson had a 4.37 second 40 yard run. He might be able to make a strong case for himself if he runs in the 4.3s or lower range. Wilson’s physicality will truly take care of him.
Another person who could present his defense is Kris Jenkins. Although Jenkins is currently being criticized as a second-round pick, the NFL combine could really help him. He’s a colossal pioneer who will get high rankings exclusively off of his character, but on the other hand he’s an athletic oddity.
Nicknamed “The Freak”, Jenkins will have the chance to put his physicality on full presentation. He might be considered for the first round if he performs exceptionally well.
Those three have all the earmarks of being the names to look for in the main round of the 2024 NFL draft. It’s a disgrace that All-American gatekeeper Zak Zinter went down with a season finishing injury, any other way we could be checking out at 3-4 first round picks for the Wolverines.
Enjoy this draft, which should be very entertaining for Michigan football fans. Go Blue!
