After losing two linebackers/pass-rushers to first-day picks in the 2022 NFL draft, Michigan football may have another first-rounder on its hands.
ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. released his latest top-25 rankings for the class of 2023 this week. This could be of interest to Detroit Lions fans, who will likely see their team draft in the top five once again, and possibly even first.
Just one player from Michigan or Michigan State football was ranked in the top 25, but several Wolverines made Kiper's positional rankings. But some may be surprised at which U-M star didn't make the cut.
