Q: Are any Michigan players expected to be first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft?

No Michigan players are anticipated to be selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The 2026 NFL draft is set to commence on Thursday night, as the three-day event will place outgoing college football players into the professional ranks. Though Michigan football is expected to have a solid contingent learn their futures over the course of the next three days, there are not any who are anticipated to go in the first round on Thursday.

Who will go then, and when?

ESPN's Jordan Reid put out a full seven-round mock draft to preview who he thinks will go and where, and he has seven former Wolverines being selected on Friday and Saturday. While there are some notable players omitted (edge rusher TJ Guy, offensive linemen Greg Crippen and Giovanni El-Hadi, linebacker Ernest Hausmann, wide receiver Donaven McCulley, defensive tackles Damon Payne and Tré Williams), there are seven he expects to be taken.

Here is who and where.
