[Pachyderm_Wave]

** indicates RS sophomore




1. Hunter Henry / Arkansas / 6'5", 250

2. O.J. Howard / Alabama / 6'6", 242 [B](Needs to go up and get the football more when the opportunity presents itself. Plays like his feet and the ground are magnetized. Let a 5'9" cornerback in Senquez Golson go up and dominate him for the football in the endzone. The play that lost the game against Ole Miss last year)[/B]

3. Bucky Hodges** / Virginia Tech / 6'5", 243

4. Jake Butt / Michigan / 6'5", 250

5. Josiah Price / Michigan St. / 6'4", 244

6. David Grinnage / N.C. State / 6'5", 267

7. Johnny Mundt / Oregon / 6'4" 252

8. Austin Hooper** / Stanford / 6'4", 254

How much do injuries factor into Michigan's Jake Butt ranking?

How much do injuries factor into Michigan's Jake Butt ranking?

he did come back real quick from the torn ACL, but I also think the lack of production as a sophomore where we barely looked his way (to the point Butt got suspended a game for saying he wished he got more targets) plays a factor as well. In Harbaugh/Drevno's offense I fully expect Butt to show people a lot... same with Ian Bunting.

My top 5 right now:

1. Jake Butt
2. Evan Engram
3. Bucky Hodges
4. Hunter Henry
5. Austin Hooper

Henry and Howard look like 1st RD picks. Good year at the top for TE and LB - especially compared to the 2015 Draft.

I've been saying to anyone that will listen, and I'll say it again, Jake Butt will be a first round pick thanks to our new scheme.

Engram and Henry are my favorites. Henry is a bigger, more traditional TE, nothing spectacular as far as his speed or getting open, but he has very reliable hands and is smart player and good route runner. I really like Engram of Ole Miss though, even if he is a little small for a TE. I think both guys would be worth a look in the second round. I would go with an O-lineman, LB, or DE in round one at this time.
