First 2017 NFL Draft Stock Watch: Michigan Prospects

With the 2016 NFL Draft and spring ball in the rearview mirror, it’s time to take a look at the first 2017 NFL draft projections for Michigan football’s top prospects. And unlike the last 8 years, Michigan should be well represented during draft coverage. That includes at least 8 guys who I believe will be drafted, barring any drastic off the field issues, as well as 4 players who would also be drafted, if they decided to leave school.

On top of that, there are plenty of other draft eligible prospects that could be late round picks or undrafted free agents, if not better, after successful 2016 seasons.

Check out my first 2017 NFL Draft stock watch for Michigan prospects, where most players have jumped in their projections since they weren’t eligible or prospects last season.
