We know the Michigan Wolverines prospects that are in the NFL Draft process currently for the 2020 cycle and now that the East-West Shrine Game and Senior Bowl exhibitions are complete, another step in that process is now complete.

With that in mind, we simulated all 7-rounds via The Draft Network’s Mock Draft Simulator to see where the board currently has Michigan prospects set to go. It is worth noting that they are constantly updating their boards to reflect trends in the pre-draft process, their own scouting and more leading up to April.

You can read the first edition of our simulations to compare here. Below is the most recent sim that was run on Tuesday morning.

Arizona Cardinals (Round 2, Pick 40 overall): Cesar Ruiz, IOL

The last time we ran this sim, Ruiz went in the sixth round. I told you then that was ridiculous and now we’re starting to get an idea of where his range might be. NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah has been floating him as a possible first round pick recently.

Same team as last time but a round earlier for the Jets here. Sam Darnold needs weapons and Peoples-Jones has the potential to be an explosive playmaker and someone who can give the Jets a boost in the return game.

Houston Texans (Round 2, Pick 57 overall): Joshua Uche, EDGE

When it is all said and done, I would not be surprised to see Uche as the highest-drafted Michigan player in this class. He can do it all, including dropping into coverage, and those who followed Senior Bowl practices saw it too. He’s a three-down player in the NFL.

Bredenson is as rock solid as it gets as a guard prospect and a guy who does a lot of things well and was a two-time captain in college. I think he’s at worst an average NFL starter or high-end depth piece. I would expect him off the board earlier than this.

Baltimore Ravens (Round 5, Pick 152 overall): Michael Onwenu, IOL

The Ravens want to run the football and who would know Onwenu better than another Harbaugh? This makes sense to me.

Pittsburgh Steelers (Round 6, Pick 178 overall): Lavert Hill, CB

Hill is going to have a shot to make a roster, but is not quite as highly regarded a prospect as Jourdan Lewis and David Long before him were. He would rejoin Devin Bush in this scenario.

Minnesota Vikings (Round 6, Pick 185 overall): Jon Runyan, OT

Runyan can be a serviceable NFL tackle and people who turn out the tape of the Ohio State game and how he handled Chase Young will see that. The Vikings should be drafting offensive linemen almost every year with how bad they are up front.

There’s three-down ability to his game and he does a lot of things well, including his willingness to block. He has soft hands and drops were never an issue at Michigan, but his athleticism will be questioned by NFL scouts.

Patterson had an up-and-down week at the Senior Bowl with the feedback skewing slightly more positive than negative. Some question whether he should be drafted, but he brings more to the table from a tools perspective than Jake Rudock did and he was drafted. All it takes is one team for any of these guys, but do see them all on NFL rosters come the preseason.
