Michigan Monday: NFL Draft In Review

Michigan had 10 players taken in the NFL draft (which was #2 only behind LSU)  and there was a couple of surprises on guys getting drafted and others that didn't.  Let's take a look:

Pick #24:  Ruiz - Congratulations to the top rated Center in the draft.   A great fit for New Orleans.
Pick #60:  Uche - Is going to New England and will be able to rush the QB with Chase.
Pick #143: Bredeson - Will go from Harbaugh to Harbaugh, I'm glad the NFL saw the value in this talented offensive lineman.

Pick #162:  Hudson to Washington, many insiders had Kheleke as a free agent, I'm glad the Redskins saw how this talent LB can play in the NFL .

Pick# 177: Dana to KC, talk about a great fit.  Mike is going to work hard and make the Super Bowl champs.  I think he will be a really solid NFL player in a year or two.

Pick#182: Onwenu to KC, the NFL Champs going Wolverines back to back.   Love Big Mike and hope he powers his way to a roster spot.

Pick #187: DPJ to Cleveland,  I actually don't love this selection and don't believe DPJ will be successful with he Diva WR's in Cleveland.   Should have stayed another year.

Pick #192: Runyan to Green Bay, If John can stay healthy I think he could have a 10 year NFL career ahead of him.

Pick#205: Metellus to Minnesota, I'm also concerned here about Josh making this roster.  The Vikings have a solid defense and Metellus will need to find a spot on special teams.

Pick#213: Glasgow to Indy, what a great story of 3 brothers all walking on at Michigan and then getting drafted.  

Free Agents:

Shea Patterson - this was not a surprise as his Combine and Senior Bowl didn't impress.   Probably should consider CFL or another line of work.

Sean McKeon - Is a talented and tall TE and signed with the Cowboys as a FA,  but you also have to wonder why he left with another year of college available.  (Sean played in 4 games as a Freshman and was considered a Senior but could have applied for another year due to the redshirt rule changing).  

Levert Hill - This one is shocking to me, I thought he was one of the better corners last year in the Big Ten.  I was concerned about Michigan CB's NFL Draft status after guarding OSU and Alabama's WR's back to back .   I think Hill's Junior year was better then his Senior year but I still think he should have been drafted.  Levert has signed with the Chiefs as a FA.


  • Colin Castleton is transferring to University of Florida.  Good for him, close to home and a good basketball program.

Onwenu was drafted by the Pats I thought...

Goblu said...

Yes, he was drafted by Pats.

And prediction here— BucknutMan blames error on Don/Jim, and he made another $20 today in the market.

Goblu,

You forgot to add that BucknutMan also would have called for the firing of Jim and/or Don!

On a serious note, I was really surprised that Mike Danna got drafted before DPJ!

Coach Anderson said...

I think DPJ left a year to early.

All of our players that got drafted did not do nothing against Alabama and Ohio State what makes you guys think that they're going to do something in the NFL... I am up $1,600 on AXL and TEN...

A 350 point upswing and that's all you made. I did better than that and never moved a thing.
