Michigan Football 2016 NFL Draft Tracker, Analysis and Results

With the Jim Harbaugh era still establishing roots in Ann Arbor, the Michigan Wolverines aren't expected to have a boatload of prospects selected in this year's NFL draft. 

Willie Henry has seen his stock rise, but the defensive tackle may still be a Day 3 pickup. 

The days of Michigan producing first-round picks on the regular are sure to return soon under Harbaugh, but just not this spring. 

Stay plugged into this piece for updates and to track Wolverines players who are selected in the 2016 draft, as well as to learn more about their replacements at Michigan. 

Note: All draft projections are based on Matt Miller's NFL Draft 400 series unless otherwise noted.

Projected Pick: Fourth round, 34th pick, Baltimore Ravens

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 303 lbs

Analysis: One of Harbaugh's pet projects who shined in his first year, Willie Henry registered 6.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss in his lone year under the former 49ers coach. Henry was widely undervalued as a prospect prior to his final season, but the one year under Harbaugh may have well propelled him to a second-day pick. Henry can line up in both 3-4 and 4-3 base defenses, adding a much-needed dose of versatility to his stock. 

The Ravens had an above-average run defense last year, ranking in the top half of the league. But linebacker Daryl Smith, the team's leading tackler in 2015, bolted for Tampa Bay. While Henry obviously doesn't provide a direct replacement, the Ravens are restructuring their defense with such a key piece missing. Henry could end up hardening a defensive line as a nose tackle in a 3-4 set. He'll likely be the primary backup to Brandon Williams his rookie season. 

Replacement: Rashan Gary, one of the top recruits in America, per Nick Baumgardner of MLive.com, will start his Michigan career at defensive end but could move to the interior as he develops further, thus becoming Henry's replacement. Led by one of the best recruits in the nation, the Wolverines defensive line should be able to replace Henry in 2016 without much trouble.

Drafted: Third round, 32nd pick, Detroit Lions

Height: 6'6"

Weight: 307 lbs

Analysis: Glasgow moved to center under Harbaugh after platooning both guard spots under the previous regime. Harbaugh pushed Glasgow hard, and he's widely viewed as one of the positives of Harbaugh's first year. Glasgow registered 37 starts at UM and possesses strong hands and an impressive upper body. He comes into the draft with the black mark of a DUI arrest, but expect him to go early on the third day. 

Wolverine fans won't have to travel far to see Glasgow, as he was selected by the Detroit Lions in the third round. Per Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press, Glasgow is open to playing anywhere along the offensive line and that type of versatility will be a value to the Lions. 

Replacement: Mason Cole, a fixture along the offensive line and a returning starter for the Wolverines, is expected to move to center, per B/R's David Kenyon. 

Jake Rudock, QB

Drafted: Sixth round, 16th pick, Detroit Lions

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 207 lbs

Analysis: 

The second Michigan alum to be selected by the Lions, Rudock will certainly have a strong fanbase with his new team. As with any sixth round pick, his roster spot is far from guaranteed. But with Dan Orlovsky the only other signal-caller on Detroit's roster — most NFL teams will carry at least three quarterbacks, even if one is on the practice squad — Rudock will have more than ample chance to prove his NFL worthiness. 

Replacement: 

Redshirt sophomore Wilton Speight,  redshirt junior transfer John O’Korn and redshirt junior Shane Morris will all compete to replace Rudock. Per Mark Snyder of the Detroit Free Press, Speight had the most impressive spring game showing but the job won't be determined until the fall. 

Joe Bolden, LB

UNDRAFTED

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 231 lbs

Analysis: Not expected to be drafted, Bolden offers versatility at the linebacker position, which is a plus in today's evolving NFL defenses that require linebackers to roam all sides of the line of scrimmage. Bolden's size is his biggest downfall, as he's on the short end of at the position and will have to make up for it with instincts and intellect. 

Replacement: Ben Gedeon expects to see more playing time at linebacker in Year 2 under Harbaugh. Per Kenyon, Harbaugh sees him as a "stud." Jabrill Peppers is also moving to linebacker and could fit that rover role perfectly.
