| Pos | Ht/Wt | ||||||
| 1. | Lawrence Thomas |  | Detroit (Mich.) Renaissance | Michigan State |  | |
| DE | 6-4/230 | ||||||
| A man child who, despite being a middle man in high school, should be a devastating edge rusher in college | ||||||
| 2. | DeAnthony Arnett | | Saginaw (Mich.) | | ||
| WR | 6-0/170 | ||||||
| One of the best route runners in the country, smooth, great hands, and loves to compete | ||||||
| 3. | Brennen Beyer | | Plymouth (Mich.) | Michigan | | |
| DE | 6-4/218 | ||||||
| Great athlete whose junior season on both sides of the ball puts him among the state's elite | ||||||
| 4. | Anthony Zettel | | Ogemaw Heights (Mich.) | | ||
| OG | 6-4/255 | ||||||
| Athletic guard who has been steadily getting bigger and stronger | ||||||

| 6. | Valdez Showers | | Madison Heights (Mich.) Madison | | ||
| CB | 6-0/185 | ||||||
| Cannot teach his size and the ability to run at that size. Still think he makes for a great safety, but could play either spot in the secondary | ||||||
| 7. | Onaje Miller | | Lansing (Mich.) Sexton | Michigan State | | |
| RB | 5-10/180 | ||||||
| Explosive, elusive kid with a good frame and has a real nose for the end zone | ||||||
| 8. | Jake Fisher | | Traverse City (Mich.) West | Michigan | | |
| OT | 6-7/273 | ||||||
| Could move up even further. Has great upside and summer performance was incredible considering he hadn't played tackle before | ||||||
| 9. | Ed Davis | | Detroit (Mich.) Southeastern | Michigan State | | |
| OLB | 6-3/208 | ||||||
| Fluid linebacker is great in space, and covers almost like a safety | ||||||
| 10. | Delonte Hollowell | | Detroit (Mich.) Cass Tech | Michigan | | |
| CB | 5-8/164 | ||||||
| Track season proved he could run. Does not have great height but has good fundamentals and is willing to come up in run support | ||||||
| 11. | Shawn Conway | | Birmingham (Mich.) Seaholm | Michigan | | |
| WR | 6-3/185 | ||||||
| Still very raw, but has good upside. He's a big kid with great ball skills and leaping ability | ||||||
| 12. | Raymon Taylor | | Highland Park (Mich.) | Indiana | | |
| CB | 5-11/172 | ||||||
| Very physical cover corner who is not afraid to get in any receivers face. Also faster than he is given credit for. Great get for Indiana. | ||||||
| 13. | Parker Ehinger | | Rockford (Mich.) | Cincinnati | | |
| OT | 6-8/260 | ||||||

| 14. | Allen Robinson | | Orchard Lake (Mich.) St. Marys | | ||
| WR | 6-3/185 | ||||||
| 6'3, 185-lbs, good ball skills, but inexperienced. Still, his upside is considerable. | ||||||
| 15. | Thomas Rawls | | Flint (Mich.) Northern | | ||
| RB | 5-10/210 | ||||||

| 16. | Taiwan Jones | | New Baltimore (Mich.) Anchor Bay | Michigan State | | |
| OLB | 6-3/205 | ||||||
| Has physical tools. Appears headed for linebacker, and is still learning the position, but has good upside | ||||||
| 17. | Kenny Knight | | Detroit (Mich.) Country Day | | ||
| WR | 6-3/190 | ||||||
| Tall, smooth receiver with good hands. Would just like to see him be more aggressive. | ||||||
| 18. | Jake Duzey | | Troy Athens (Mich.) | Iowa | | |
| TE | 6-4/215 | ||||||
| High school receiver is growing into a tight end. He can run and has good hands. | ||||||
| 19. | Jalen Schlachter | | Corunna (Mich.) | Indiana | | |
| OT | 6-6/300 | ||||||

| 20. | Damon Knox | | Muskegon (Mich.) | | ||
| DE | 6-5/265 | ||||||

| 21. | Alex Niznak | | Ithaca (Mich.) | Central Michigan | | |
| QB | 6-4/225 | ||||||

| 22. | Ben McCord | | Warren (Mich.) Cousino | | ||
| TE | 6-3/225 | ||||||
| Would not rate this high as a receiver, but has embraced the tight end spot, gotten bigger, and still has excellent hands and route running skills | ||||||
