In keeping up with the NFL Draft, it was impossible to miss when a couple former Michigan commits came off the board. The Wolverines lost two running back commits in the 2015 class, and both of them were drafted – while Michigan’s signees at the position (Karan Higdon, Chris Evans) went undrafted and got suspended, respectively.
Hit the jump for a rundown of former Michigan commits and players who were involved in the draft this past weekend.

After the day one and day two results (LINK), Michigan got one more player drafted on day three.
Zach Gentry – TE – Pittsburgh Steelers: Round 5, #141 overall
Gentry had subpar performances at both the Combine and pro day, but I guess it’s important to remember that he got invited to the Combine for a reason. At 6’8″ and 260 lbs. with some impressive plays over the past two seasons, he has some things going for him. I projected that he wouldn’t go higher than the 7th round due to a 4.92 forty (at the Combine) and a poor showing on the bench press, the Steelers found him worthy of drafting, perhaps to help replace Jesse James (who signed with the Lions). I like Gentry and I think he could hang around the NFL for a decent career.

2020
Jalen Berger – RB – Ramsey (NJ) Don Bosco Prep: Berger, who attends Jabrill Peppers’ former powerhouse program Don Bosco, is a 6’0″, 187 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #5 athlete, and #50 overall. He’s pretty slightly built for a running back and plays a few different spots, so he could end up at a lot of different positions (RB, slot receiver, CB, or S). So far he has two crystal ball picks for Ohio State. He was at Michigan on Wednesday.
Braiden McGregor – DE – Port Huron (MI) Northern: McGregor is a 6’5″, 248 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, and Notre Dame, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #11 strongside end, and #199 overall. He claims a 5.06 forty and a 4.69 shuttle. Michigan leads the crystal ball with 80% of the picks, including the last six.
Hit the jump for a few more visitors.
