The Fence the Mitten Project: Defensive Backs

I took a few days off from posting about this project, but it’s time to get back to it. So what would Michigan’s roster and recruiting look like if they signed the top 25 in-state prospects each year? Here’s the answer.

If you missed them earlier, there were posts about QB (LINK), RB (LINK), TE (LINK), OL (LINK), WR (LINK), DE (LINK), DT (LINK), and LB (LINK).

With the 2020 NFL Draft in the rearview (LINK), we now turn our eyes toward the 2020 season and the 2021 draft.

Schoenle isn’t a great receiver, but he’s a heck of a blocker and special teams player, so his return will be a bonus.

Afternoon Roundup: December 28, 2019

The holidays are busy. I hope you all are doing well and enjoying Washington State vs. Air Force highlights!

A couple wrap-up items from recent days on players with decisions to make:

• Nick Eubanks is returning for a fifth year at tight end, which is good because I don’t think he would get drafted in 2020.
• Kwity Paye is returning for his senior year at defensive end, which is also good because I don’t think his draft stock would be very high.
• It sounds like Ambry Thomas is coming back, although he hasn’t come out with that decision as definitively as the first two.
