Podcast: TheWolverine.com's 2022 Michigan football spring game draft

TheWolverine.com‘s Anthony Broome and Clayton Sayfie draft their own teams ahead of Michigan football’s spring game on Saturday in Ann Arbor. The team held its own draft on Tuesday, but the results of that will not be revealed until later on.
We decided to take matters into our own hands and draft hypothetical teams ahead of the weekend. After flipping a coin, Sayfie received the first pick. We ran it as a snake draft. Full draft results are posted below by those who want to be spoiled.
The positional needs broke down as follows:
QB – 1
RB – 1
WR – 3
TE – 1
Offensive weapon – 1
OL – 5
EDGE – 2
DL – 3
LB – 2
CB – 3
Safeties – 2
Kicker/punter – 1
