NFL Draft: Top 5 Michigan Football Prospects for 2017

Outside of the five players mentioned, Michigan has a number of other players that have NFL potential. Wide receiver Amara Darboh is coming off a strong season, as is nose tackle Ryan Glasgow. Both of those guys should hear their names called at the 2017 draft.

Defensive end Taco Charlton is another candidate to get picked, as are running backs De’Veon Smith and Drake Johnson. The truth is, with Harbaugh in charge, 2017 is just going to be the start. Michigan football is going to be an NFL factory again for talent, which is even something Kiper Jr., alluded too when talking about the Wolverines’ future.

"“(Harbaugh’s impact) has been tremendous, there’s a tremendous difference between what (Michigan) was and what they are,” Kiper added. “You talk about national credibility with what he’s done already in terms of the winning that went on there, they’ve got some studs coming in with this recruiting class. “There’s no question. It’ll be Jim Harbaugh and Urban Meyer going at each other every year … You knew when he took over he was going to win and he’s well on his way.”"

There is no debating the Harbaugh has Michigan football on the rise, next year’s draft, will just be another example of it.
