In a recent episode of the NFL on Fox Podcast, former Michigan wide receiver Roman Wilson remarked that he wouldn’t be surprised if Jim Harbaugh’s Los Angeles Chargers drafted a number of Michigan alums in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft.
Intuitively, that’s pretty appealing — it’s a national championship team and five of their players could get drafted in the first two rounds between quarterback J.J. McCarthy, defensive tackle Kris Jenkins, linebacker Junior Colson, cornerback Mike Sainristil and Wilson himself.
Another two — running back Blake Corum and offensive lineman Zak Zinter — could be drafted inside the top 100 while tight end AJ Barner, receiver Cornelius Johnson, edge rusher Jaylen Harrell, edge rusher Braiden McGregor, and linebacker Michael Barrett could all end up hearing their names called by the end of Saturday, as could the offensive linemen: Trevor Keegan, Drake Nugent, Ladarius Henderson and Trente Jones.
