Michigan Wolverines
From 2019 until 2025, the Michigan Wolverines produced at least one first-round pick in the NFL Draft. But that streak has come to an end, with the first Wolverine coming off the board in the second round this spring.
Under a completely new coaching staff, the Wolverines have loaded up on promising talent. Kyle Whittingham and his staff have a proven track record developing first-round talent — as recently as sending both starting offensive tackles in the first round of the 2026 draft — so there should be no shortage of high-end prospects in the pipeline.
Here are three Michigan football stars with a chance to go in the first round of the 2027 NFL Draft.
Edge rusher John Henry Daley
The most obvious name heading into 2026 is former Utah edge rusher John Henry Daley, who arrives with multiple accolades and a hunger to get even better.
Daley was an All-American this past season, recording 48 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks in 11 games. However, an end-of-season Achilles injury complicated his draft stock. With one season of eligibility remaining, he chose to make it count at Michigan and prove he can still be a game-wrecker in the nation’s toughest conference.
His 6-foot-4 frame and explosiveness off the edge already have NFL scouts excited. At Michigan, he’s reunited with former defensive coordinator Jay Hill, who coached him at BYU, and he’ll play on a deep defensive line. Daley is expected to be a full-go come June 1, so if he returns to 2025 form quickly, he’ll build the kind of tape that gets you drafted in the first round.
RB Jordan Marshall
When Jordan Marshall is healthy, he is a difference maker. The former Mr. Ohio Football had a rocky start to his career due to injury, but ever since the ReliaQuest Bowl against as a true freshman in 2024, he has torn through the competition.
