Former Michigan center Cesar Ruiz certainly believes he should be a first-round NFL Draft selection, and several draft analysts agree that with his talent and upside, he could be in for a long professional football career.
When the three-day NFL Draft begins Thursday, Michigan is expected to have a first-round selection for the second straight year. Devin Bush and Rashan Gary were first-round selections last year, and Ruiz could be the next. ESPN Draft analyst Mel Kiper has Ruiz at No. 27 in his most recent mock draft.
