In case you’re wondering, what I’ve said about Michigan’s draftees back when they committed to Michigan, here are some links to their commitment posts. I do senior profiles for all players – drafted or not – so these will be linked elsewhere in the coming weeks, but here’s an early look back.

Jabrill Peppers did indeed go in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, even though he had a “dilute sample” at the Combine. He went #25 overall to the Cleveland Browns.
It’s a great pick for the Browns, who have multiple needs and can use Peppers in several ways. However, I hate the Browns. They are always terrible, they make poor decisions, and they have ugly uniforms. I will have a hard time rooting for them, but I guess I’ll cheer for him to have some individual success.
Taco Charlton
Players are listed in order of how I expect them to get drafted.
Taco Charlton – DE
Charlton didn’t particularly enjoy playing a 3-4 defensive end role in 2015 under defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin, and he was more productive as a weakside end in 2016’s version of the 4-3. He’s projected by NFL scouts as a 4-3 end, and mostly I’ve seen him pegged as going in the last third of the first round, though he has moved up to the middle third of the first round in some mock drafts over the last week or two.
Teams to watch: Saints, Bears, Dolphins, Falcons
