Michigan Football Draft Grades
Thanks to our friends at Pro Football & Sports Network, we can take a look at how the Michigan players were graded with their landing spots. Below is the letter grade and subsequent analysis when provided for each pick. All without analysis will be listed below.
- Round 6, Pick 188
Kalel Mullings, RB | Tennessee Titans
Grade: C - Round 6, Pick 191
Myles Hinton, OT | Philadelphia Eagles
Grade: B
Mason Graham NFL Draft Grade
- Round 1, Pick 5
Mason Graham, DT | Cleveland Browns
Grade: A-
This pick comes with the caveat that the Browns also added a second-round pick, a fourth-round pick, and a 2026 first-round pick in the process of moving back. That value is just icing on the cake for adding a player of Mason Graham‘s caliber.
Graham, a top-10 player in the class, has one of the most complete disruptive footprints in the 2025 DT group. His combination of hyper-dense mass, explosiveness, and natural leverage in the run game affords him elite penetration skills and one-gapping upside. As a pass-rusher, he can uncork violent torque and power to blast through blocks and impact the quarterback.
The Browns were never going to solve their QB woes with Ward off the board, so they had some wiggle room with how they addressed Round 1. Passing on a generational playmaker like Hunter could come back to bite them, but with the trade back for Graham, they addressed a significant need with a major contributor and scored a treasure trove of capital.
Colston Loveland NFL Draft Grade
- Round 1, Pick 10
Colston Loveland, TE | Chicago Bears
Grade: A+
NFL defenses learned over the past two seasons never to doubt Ben Johnson in possession of a game-breaking tight end. They’ll continue to learn the hard way now, as Johnson and Ryan Poles added Colston Loveland to their aerial attack with Caleb Williams.
Loveland can be Johnson’s new version of Sam LaPorta. He’ll have to stay healthy, of course. But his medicals didn’t scare the Bears away from him at 10th overall, and provided that he stays healthy, he’s a true X-factor with all-encompassing alignment versatility and dynamism in the pass game.
At 6’6”, 250 pounds, Loveland’s calling card is his alien ability as a separator at the tight end position. He’s endlessly efficient and fluid in and out of breaks, with a full route tree, explosive RAC ability, and smooth catch-point instincts. Yes, the Bears have Cole Kmet – but Loveland is a different, and much less common, type of player. That’s where his value lies for an emerging Chicago squad.
Kenneth Grant NFL Draft Grade
- Round 1, Pick 13
Kenneth Grant, DT | Miami Dolphins
Grade: C
With the 13th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins addressed the trenches – but perhaps not on the side of the ball fans would’ve preferred. However, options were sparse on the offensive line at this value, making it easier for the Dolphins to follow their board and select Kenneth Grant.
Grant is a unique player in that he fills a specific niche very well in theory. At 6’3”, 330 pounds, he’s a block of rock on the interior, with “dancing bear” athleticism and agility both in the pass-rush phase and in recovery as a run defender. He’s a visibly better space-eater and gap defender at 0-tech and 1-tech than Mazi Smith was coming out, and there’s legitimate pass-rush juice, too.
As a complete NFL player, Grant still has some development to undergo, as down-to-down consistency and conditioning can sometimes be an issue. On the draft board, in a very deep DT class with multiple nose tackle candidates, this was a reach – but few nose tackles have Grant’s sheer upside alongside Zach Sieler if he can continue trending up.
Will Johnson NFL Draft Grade
- Round 2, Pick 47
Will Johnson, CB | Arizona Cardinals
Grade: A+
At last, a top-12 prospect in Will Johnson is finally off the board in Round 2. His degenerative knee issue will be the big variable in his eventual outcome. But if Johnson can stay healthy, he can go on to be one of the best value deals outright in the 2025 NFL Draft class.
The Cardinals needed to acquire a starting boundary CB in this class, and Johnson fits what Jonathan Gannon needs to a tee. In zone coverage, Johnson is fluid, quick to react, and a natural playmaker, and in man coverage, he can use his size and twitch to dictate releases, match, and corral receivers. A high-quality prospect with schematic versatility and two-phase playmaking appeal, Johnson could be the prize of the draft for the Cardinals.
Josaiah Stewart NFL Draft Grade
- Round 3, Pick 90
Josaiah Stewart, EDGE | Los Angeles Rams
Grade: C+
If you’re the Rams, this may be where you should consider adding Jalen Milroe as a long-term developmental quarterback behind Matthew Stafford. Los Angeles, however, decided to instead bolster their EDGE rotation by adding Michigan’s Josaiah Stewart.
Even at the EDGE position, Stewart wasn’t close to the highest-rated prospect on my board; Bradyn Swinson held that honor. Stewart profiles more as a designated pass-rush specialist at his size, but to his credit, he does play bigger than his size in the run game.
His ultimate ceiling is unclear without high-end speed at his size, but alongside Jared Verse and Byron Young, he helps make a strong Rams rush stronger.
