Mock draft season is upon us, and it’s bringing good news for Michigan football fans. ESPN’s Matt Miller has kicked off 2025 NFL draft speculation, placing three Wolverines in the first round. Notably, cornerback Will Johnson is projected at No. 3 to the Denver Broncos. Johnson, a standout from Grosse Pointe South, is considered one of the best cornerback prospects in a decade. Mason Graham, a force on Michigan’s defensive line, is slotted at No. 7 for the Minnesota Vikings. His explosive play and power make him a top prospect despite modest stats.
Moving further, Michigan’s premier offensive talent, tight end Colston Loveland, is pegged to go No. 14 to the Indianapolis Colts. Loveland’s remarkable sophomore year, featuring 45 catches for 649 yards, has earned him the title of the nation’s top tight end. With his agility and run-blocking expertise, he’s a valuable asset for any team. This promising outlook has Wolverines expecting multiple first-round picks next spring, setting the stage for another impressive draft showing.
