This week on Out of the Blue, Jared and Andy welcome a pair of special guests to talk about the Michigan Wolverines this week. Matt Hartwell and Michael Smeltzer of The Big House Bleachers Podcast join the show for a fun team-style draft.

• Quick hits: Superlatives for Matt and Michael asking the hard-hitting questions, like which Wolverines goes first in the 2024 NFL Draft? Who was more handsome in their prime, De Niro or Pacino? And more!
• Time to draft! It is Jared/Andy vs. Matt/Michael. Here are the rules: a snake style draft of the best individual Michigan performances from the last ten years (2013-22). The teams will be drafting players into six categories: two QB performances, two RB performances, two WR/TE performances, four defensive performances (two front 7, two secondary), and one wild card performance.
• Be sure to listen and vote who you think won. To see their complete teams, scroll down to vote.
