Where Michigan football players are in post-Super Bowl mock drafts
Michigan football is still figuring out what its roster looks like next year, especially with a handful of key contributors off to the 2022 NFL Draft. Six Wolverines appeared in the latest mock draft simulation we ran on The Draft Network.
Here is a rundown of Michigan’s NFL talent in our latest batch of scenarios.
Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE (Detroit Lions, No. 2 overall)
Hutchinson is one of the safest prospects in the class with an ever-moving motor and elite production and leadership at Michigan. He is still in play for the No. 1 overall pick, but draft analysts are coming around to the idea that Jacksonville will go with an offensive tackle. Hutchinson’s legend and ability to elevate those around him has a chance to continue 45 minutes down the road from Ann Arbor.
David Ojabo, EDGE (Baltimore Ravens, No. 14 overall)
Ojabo is raw and has a lot of work to do in becoming an every-down player, but the tools and production from this season still make him a more than worthy first-round prospect. It is hard to project his stock going much higher so the decision to declare was not surprising. Also of note is that it would keep the Harbaugh-to-Harbaugh pipeline open with Michigan and the Ravens.
Daxton Hill, safety (Kansas City Chiefs, No. 30 overall)
The third-year safety officially declared for the NFL Draft in the days following the Orange Bowl loss. Hill played a variety of roles at Michigan in his first three years and the ability to play deep safety or in the nickel will be intriguing to NFL teams.
Hassan Haskins, running back (Baltimore Ravens, No. 99 overall)
Haskins is as rock-solid of a running back prospect as it gets and one Michigan will miss greatly. The one knock against him might be breakaway speed, but what he lacks there he makes up for in power, pass protection and the ability to be a factor on special teams. Haskins was supposed to participate in the Senior Bowl, but opted out due to an ankle injury.

Andrew Stueber, offensive tackle (New Orleans Saints, No. 118 overall)
Stueber was one of the better offensive linemen at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, per those in attendance. He probably kicks inside to guard at the next level, but the ability to play both spots at Michigan will be valuable for his draft stock. Stueber was a riser on draft boards throughout the year and seems to have rounded into a potential mid-round/early day three pick.
Josh Ross, linebacker (No. 195 overall, Jacksonville Jaguars)
Ross was the captain of Michigan football’s defense next to Hutchinson and did a solid job inside. He had a chance to return for a sixth season in Ann Arbor, but instead is set to be a prospect that either comes off the board late or gets a shot as an undrafted free agent.
Christopher Hinton, defensive tackle (No. 240 overall, Kansas City Chiefs)
Hinton made a surprising decision to declare early for the draft despite not getting a ton of pro attention throughout the year. He still had a quality campaign with Michigan and was stout on the interior defensive line. It would not be surprising to see him quietly rise into the middle rounds.
