Hello, fan of an NFL team. MGoBlog excruciatingly scouts every Michigan play, and scores them to inform our coverage. Since mi atleta es su atleta now, here we share what we're sharing. Ross wasn't drafted, but for the right team he could be a UDFA who sticks, so I'm writing him up as well. Quickly: Two-time captain, smallish, heady but not instinctual modern LB who excels at blitzing, and has major coverage issues to clean up. Draft Projection: Undrafted free agent. I've seen guys like him go in the 4th so I don't really know, but there are a lot of linebackers with Ross's measurements and much better college production. NFL Comp: Jaylon Smith. Note here that this is an "if he works out" comparison because Ross isn't a 1st round talent. He has similar size and traits as Smith, who thrived in the Cowboys' simple defense before getting lost in their newer more complicated one. Ross has a long way to go to be a good coverage linebacker bu ....
Hello, fan of an NFL team. MGoBlog excruciatingly scouts every Michigan play, and scores them to inform our coverage. Since mi atleta es su atleta now, here we share what we're sharing. Quickly: Smart, businesslike, solid-based, right-sized DT held back by a sluggish first step. Draft Projection: 6th round to undrafted free agent. I think he'll end up on a roster, but as deep as the tackle pool is this year, not a lot of teams are going to bother using picks for DTs when they think they can find a guy like Hinton on the practice roster or someone else's. If your team used a Day 3 pick on him, they probably like his upside, and need to fill a hole. You can do a lot worse with a 6th rounder. NFL Comp: Damion Square, a 5-star DL who played 3-tech at Bama, went undrafted in 2013, and is still bouncing around the league as a backup DT. Like Square, Hinton has the versatility to fill in at several interior positions, and his best move is the swim, which he could further devel ....
Hello, fan of an NFL team. MGoBlog excruciatingly scouts every Michigan play, and scores them to inform our coverage. Since mi atleta es su atleta now, here we share what we're sharing. Quickly: Cornerbackish safety or safetyish cornerback who excelled at nickel. Strength to take on tight ends but not a hard-hitter. Draft Projection: Early to mid 1st round. He's a highly valued type of player who can fill a role in most secondaries, and once you get to the middle of the 1st round the guys who can truly change the course of your franchise are off the board and it's time to fill needs. Shouldn't fall out of the 1st round barring something weird. NFL Comp: Marlon Humphrey. A safety-sized cornerback who plays a lot of nickel that you can't shake. What's his story? The 5-star little brother of Ravens RB Justice Hill, basketball player, highest SPARQ rating of his class, Michigan had to fend off a late run by Alabama to keep one of their most desired recruits i ....
Hello, fan of an NFL team. MGoBlog excruciatingly scouts every Michigan play, and scores them to inform our coverage. Since mi atleta es su atleta now, here we share what we're sharing. Quickly: Explosive edge-bender, developing run defender. Draft Projection: Before the injury he was tracking to be the trendy high-upside edge that some team jumps at in the mid-1st round. Now he could be in the 2nd round or later. I doubt he'll last so long, but if teams worried about an Achilles tear are letting him drop to the 40s, as long as your team can afford to take a swing this is a very good pitch. NFL Comp: I came up with Ziggy Ansah explosive foreign player who was mostly a situational rusher in college to draft and develop. NFL.com came up with Cliff Avril, which I'm grateful for because that's one (Purdue/Lions) we're fairly familiar with, though Ojabo is taller and faster with great length; Avril's was average, but people also underrated him as a run defende ....
Hello, fan of an NFL team. MGoBlog excruciatingly scouts every Michigan play, and scores them to inform our coverage. Since mi atleta es su atleta now, here we share what we're sharing. Quickly: The best player in the draft by college production. Highest floor in the draft, might not be JJ Watt. Draft Projection: 1st or 2nd overall pick in a draft without any franchise quarterbacks seems about right. Teams picking there can't afford to mess that pick up, and Hutch is about as good a guarantee of that as you're going to get. I'd expect him to end up ~20th player in his draft class not the 1st, but if you actually know who the top five are going to be you should be in stocks. NFL Comp: Nick Bosa or TJ Watt. Great measurements, spectacular college production that should translate to instant very good NFL DE, but not one of the freaks. Unless he's TJ Watt What's his story? High-ish 4-star son of a 1990s All-American tackle (DE) in 2018. First inkling we had s ....
