Nice to see them doing well. I don’t have a lot of context for what good and bad numbers are raw, so I like to see the percentiles. This website gives pretty cool graphics and also interesting player comps:
https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/devin-bush
Bush has elite speed and jumping ability and very good agility. The part you already knew is that he is small. Honestly don’t think it matters and expect him to be a starter pretty quickly. For Michigan — a generational talent, impossible to replace.

The part you already knew is the he is tall. Unfortunately he is not fast or agile or athletic or skilled. Player comps are not encouraging. I don’t think Michigan will miss him in 2019. Hope he plays better than these numbers show in the NFL.

Gary has elite speed and athleticism and ranks well in just about everything but has tiny hands. Maybe this will serve him well if his team wins a Super Bowl and visits the white house. Which they might, because dude is a Dude.

Higdon ranks out like he played: pretty good, nothing special. Interestingly, he compares to Mike Weber – so score one for Harbaugh’s eye for talent and character. Appears worth drafting. Michigan will miss him due mostly to Chris Evans messing up but should still be fine.

Winovich probably made himself a lot of money by absolutely knocking out the 40 and agility drills. White man can’t jump and his strength scores was pitiful. Still, looks like an impact pass rusher which will surprise nobody who watched him at Michigan. Another guy Michigan will struggle to replace though Danna and Uche have been productive.
Winners: Bush, Gary, Wino, Higdon
Loser: Gentry
TBD: Long (not available yet)
