Random Thoughts Pre Draft - JustInTime - 03-18-2025
Will Johnson will miss the Michigan pro day with a still tweaked hamstring. There's whispers of his draft stock dropping before this latest piece of bad news. I've got to think he's in play at 24. Started off this draft cycle as a likely top ten CB2 prospect.
The rest of Michigan's pro day hopefully will feature something looking like Bruce Feldman's freaks list. Ill be interested in Graham's weight as he apparently cut weight for the Combine but couldn't run or drill due to a heel bruise. I'm guessing high 4.8s for him and sub 5 for Grant.
I wish we had a spot for Landon Jackson. Absolutely terrorised during the Senior Bowl game. An Edge with a 1.71 split is considered elite. He went 1.69. Seriously undervalued guy right now.
With KOC favorite Johnny Mundt off to Jax, TE late seems to be an option. Not a bad year to want a TE. There are a couple big WR types that I would avod. Could be deep enough to grab a guy as a priority UDFA.
Speaking of UDFA, I fully expect Kwesi to pull out the checkbook again and tap into what will likely be a class heavy in undrafted RB talent. JCM and Efron Chism could be a couple excellent gets in Day 4.
Someone will do something stupid in the top 10. Happens every year. My guess is someone over values Jason Dart big time. NYG is my guess.

Jaxon Dart going top 10... I could see it, but that doesn't mean it should happen. I don't feel any QB from this draft deserve going top 10.
If Will Johnson or Barron are there at 24, I have to think they will be the pick for us.

I've been adding TE to my mocks in the later rounds. We lost both Mundt and Muse. Hock and Oliver are the only TEs on the roster. Assuming we add more picks, I can see us taking one on day three.

Amen, brother. As predictable as the sun rising in the East.

Losing both Muse and Mundt at the same time pretty much points to a TE, I agree.
They were both pretty reliable, both with better hands than Oliver, it seemed.

I think an H-Back type would be perfect. Open up Ham’s spot

More of a TE comment than pre draft, but I noticed Tyler Conklin is an available free agent. A year younger than Mundt. I remember Conklin as being a pretty good TE.

That would not be a bad get.

Will Johnson is getting dinged for having short arms and being a gambler. He guesses right a lot of times, but that's a style that might not serve him well at the next level

Conklin might cost more than we'd want to spend, but he would be a great addition. He's a good pass blocker too. All we need is a capable 3rd TE who could start in a pinch. A late round pick or a low-tier free agent should suffice.

If Will Johnson slides, which I can't even imagine he'd be there at #24, you run full blast, tripping and crying the whole way to get his name to the podium. He's going to rock in the NFL. Amazing athlete and full of dawg in him.
