Summary

Focusing solely on the NFL Draft, Lorenz and Shaw break down the fits of Michigan's five NFL Draft picks (Devin Bush Jr., Rashan Gary, Chase Winovich, David Long and Zach Gentry) and how we forecast their early NFL futures. We also break down what the haul means for a continuing trend of talent development under Jim Harbaugh and whether or not it makes a difference with recruits.

Then, after looking at the seven Wolverines who landed undrafted free agent opportunities, we break down Michigan's potential NFL Draft picks in 2020, dissecting players at every position and sifting through the list of potential first-round picks.
