Next year's starting lineup

Michigan will sodomize that o-line.

Going to doog out and pencil in Eason coming back. I think Hunter is a mid round pick and Ahmed is probably a day 3 pick at this point but @sonics1993 has been pretty adamant that they're gone. I don't think Taylor, Levi, or Molden are leaving early. This is my guess for the starting lineup for Michigan, I expect Savell and McMillan to eventually crack the starting lineup during the season.

Offense
QB: Eason
RB: Newton/McGrew
TE: Otton
Slot: Lowe
WR: Nacua
WR: Jones
LT: Mele
LG: Wattenburg
C: Murao
RG: Kirkland
RT: Bain

Defense
DL: Levi
DL: Tuli
OLB: Tryon
OLB: Latu
ILB: Calvert
ILB: Heimuli
Nickel: Molden
CB: Taylor
CB: McDuffie
S: Turner
S: Gordon

Bynum at one of WR spots or slot. I don’t know what’s going on with Lowe. Defense looks spot on although we know there will be a lot of competition at ILB. I wouldn’t count out Cam Williams or McKinney starting at one safety position.

Eason is gone no matter what. Pete sealed his fate with that bullshit wildcat on a critical 3rd and 1. Huge slap in the face to Eason.

That play ranks right up with the pass in the super bowl in pure stupidity. Obviously the super bowl pick had a bit more impact but on the dumb level? Even.

Eason - 85%. I think he goes especially if he lights up Utah. We all know how he will do against tOSU and WSU.
Ahmed - 50%. He is not a feature back in the NFL so he will not go before the 4th rd. Is that good enough for him?
Bryant - 100%. He was 3 and done when he signed here.
Levi - 70%. My gut says he is gone.
Molden - 10%. He has been good but I think he can improve his stock by coming back.
Taylor - 75%. Has had a good year imo but this is a gut feeling.

Adams, Harris, M. Bryant will get drafted. I think Fuller and Hilbers (I'm serious) have a chance to go in the 6th or 7th rd. We have a chance to have 9-10 guys get drafted if things break right. Since I know that won't happen we will be stacked next year. The key is obviously Eason.

I don’t think any true freshmen start on the OL. I hope Mele does stick at center. He’s been good there.

Bowman wasn’t listed in the initial depth. He starts or is the first one off the bench. I would love to see him become more of a situational DT in passing downs. He’s good there.

So Bandes and Fatui are relegated to Spiker and Osborne status? Jeeze... I'm sure the 2x top 60 players in the country guys will love that. Oh and Osborne/Spiker sitting behind Ty Jones at this point? Man... I bet recruits are really going to want to come here and not play football for 3 fucking years.

What's the point of recruiting these guys if you're just going to play the fucking Fullers and Opera's of the world?

I'm tired of watching Manu and Wellington... I'm tired of Bronson... I'm already tired of Kirkland and Wattenberg... I don't care that they're upperclassmen... their upside is literal dogshit.

This season is a damn wash... get the young guys in there and build for next season/beyond.

Michigan sucks. The same Wisconsin team that lost to Illinois blew them out of the building. I don't understand why people are afraid to play them.

Do you even watch college football? Yeah, Wisconsin pushes their shit in a couple weeks ago but Michigan still has talent and sometimes that talent outshines their inept offense.

Michigan did well against Penn State. I doubt we would've been anywhere as close if we were put in the same situations.

Would like to see Bynum play more. He caught the ball short of the marker a few times and fell forward through a tackle or maneuvered to to get a first down. The bar is low, but that type of stuff is something opera and fuller at times don’t do.

Bynum Jones and puka should be the wrs probably next year. Fuller in the slot is fine.

Would like to see what spider and Osborne can do. Is Osborne in the dog house?

if eason is a projected top 10 pick then he needs to gtfo, herbert lost a ~$10mm in signing bonus money going from a 'top projected pick' to 'somewhere in the teens.'

Didn’t Osborne make a 20 yard catch on 3rd & 23 that set up the incompletion to Puka?

Spiker.
