Marlin Klein: The former Michigan tight end projects as a day three selection with the ability to rise to day two (rounds 2-3), according to draftnation.com

Jaishawn Barham: Barham is seen as a player with high upside and is projected as a strong day two prospect with the potential to rise into being a first round selection, according to draftnation.com.

Rayshaun Benny: The defensive lineman put together an impressive performance at the Senior Bowl and will look to do the same at the combine. According to the draftnetwork.com, Benny projects as a second round pick, with other sites having him selected in the third round.

Derrick Moore: Moore had a terrific week of Senior Bowl practices and will look to build on that momentum going into the combine and draft in April. According to draftnation.com, Moore projects as a day two lock with the potential to go in the first round.

Jimmy Rolder: Rolder spent a lot of his Michigan career as a rotational linebacker, but started to blossom at the position for the Wolverines in 2025. His improvement was so noticeable that ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. tabbed Rolder as a player who could be selected in the early rounds in the draft come April.

Dominic Zvada: The former Wolverine kicker has what it takes to be a high level kicker in the NFL despite some inconsistencies in 2025. Overall, he put together a very good college career during his time with the Wolverines and Arkansas State. Kiper lists Zvada as the third best kicker/punter in the 2026 draft.
