Mock draft mania has hit the internet and if you think your favorite Michigan Wolverines blog was going to sit out on the fun, well, it appears you have lost that bet. Michigan does not have as much Round 1 talent heading into the 2020 NFL Draft as they have in previous years, but they will certainly factor into the first two days of the draft.
Mock drafts are not meant to be prognostications as much as they are fun scenarios to discuss and yell about online to each other. There is no chance that most of this comes true, but it would be a heck of a lot of fun if it did!
So without further ado, here’s a mock draft simulation for the opening two rounds of the draft and you will see some Maize and Blue representation as the second round rolls along.
