Defensive tackle Ryan Glasgow was picked in the 4th round (#138 overall) by the Cincinnati Bengals.
Last year his brother, Graham Glasgow, was a 3rd round choice of the Detroit Lions. Both players were walk-ons, and Ryan in particular seemed to improve year after year while he was at Michigan. He made 42 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks as a senior in 2016.
Linebacker Ben Gedeon was picked in the 4th round (#120 overall) by the Minnesota Vikings.
Gedeon played a backup role for his first three seasons before finally becoming a starter in his last year. He sat behind some guys who went undrafted, and then he was suddenly a 4th round pick. I’m not sure how that happens. He made 106 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks as a senior in 2016.
Wide receiver Amara Darboh was picked by the Seattle Seahawks in the 3rd round (#106 overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.
Darboh put up better numbers at the NFL Combine than expected, but this is still a little bit higher than a lot of people thought (including me). He seemed like a 4th or 5th rounder, but good for him. He’s a very likable guy, and I hope he can chisel out a decent career. In Seattle he’ll join Delano Hill, who was picked earlier in the 3rd round.
Safety Delano Hill was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the 3rd round (#95 overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.
I’m a little surprised that Hill went this high after not having an extremely productive career at Michigan, but I think the Seahawks are a good fit for him, because he’ll play strong safety in a defense that plays a lot of Cover 3. He’s also a solid tackler.
Also, I don’t hate the Seahawks, so at least I won’t have to swallow hatred in order to root for him, like I’ll have to do with the Browns and Cowboys.
Jourdan Lewis was drafted in the 3rd round (#92 overall) by the Dallas Cowboys.
Lewis had a 1st or 2nd round grade in a lot of places, but off-the-field troubles (a.k.a. a domestic violence charge) forced him to drop some. I still don’t like the Cowboys, but with Charlton and now Lewis, they’re becoming more tolerable. From a talent standpoint, Lewis was a favorite of mine when he was in Ann Arbor.
