This week on Out of the Blue, Jared and Andy don’t waste any time, it is the annual spring game draft! Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh famously organized this practice game by dividing up his coaching staff and having them draft the teams that will play against each other in the spring game. For the sixth consecutive year, the boys are back to do the same.

A few quick draft notes:

The quarterback advantage is too steep of a drop-off, so for this exercise, J.J. McCarthy is the all-time quarterback. Apologies to Jack Tuttle and Davis Warren.
Only players on the current Michigan football 2023 spring roster are available.
For the sake of conversation, injured or limited players will be treated as 100% healthy for this exercise. Enjoy!
