3/08/25	Why Texas DB Jahdae Barron is perfect fit for Vikings in NFL Draft. The upcoming draft pool is not short on talent at cornerback, including Texas standout Jahdae Barron. While all the focus is rightfully on Travis Hunter and Will Johnson, Barron would be an ideal pick for the Minnesota Vikings with the No. 24 overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. The 5-foot-11, 194-pound cornerback enters the draft as the top nickelback of the class. After a promising showing at the pre-draft Combine, Barron is expected to go in the mid-to-late first round.

3/05/25	Why Will Johnson is Best Pick for Raiders. The Las Vegas Raiders are preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft, preparing for every possible outcome. The Raiders are one of the most interesting and unpredictable teams picking in the top 10, as they could go in any direction on either side of the ball. While many fans hope the team gets a franchise quarterback with that pick, the path to that realistically happening appears murky. The Raiders' defense was good last season, but it is far from being one of the best in the league. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/news/will-johnson-m...
3/04/25	49ers urged to draft Michigan star with 'value too good to pass up'. One year after another Super Bowl appearance, the San Francisco 49ers' 2024 campaign was one of their worst seasons in recent history. With several issues to address, the 49ers are expected to approach the 2025 NFL Draft with an open mind. Following a 6-11 finish, San Francisco enters the draft with the No. 11 overall pick. While various prospects fit their roster needs, Michigan cornerback Will Johnson might have the most “value” in the first round, ESPN's Jordan Reid wrote.

2/18/25	Daniel Jeremiah Projects 49ers to Take a Cornerback in New Mock Draft. Frankly, the 49ers have needs almost everywhere. Instead, they could take the best player available, and Daniel Jeremiah of The NFL Network projects that player will be Michigan cornerback Will Johnson.

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Devin Jackson has the Jets doing just that in his latest mock draft, which sees New York selecting Michigan cornerback Will Johnson.

Reed expected to test free agency," Jackson wrote. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/jets/news/jets-make-surpris...
2/15/25	An Interesting NFL Draft Approach for the Raiders to Take. The Las Vegas Raiders' quarterback position has received much attention over the past few seasons, as Las Vegas' group of signal callers have repeatedly let the team down. While the Raiders have not done much to surround their quarterbacks with enough talent to be competitive, they still need much more from the position than they have gotten recently. College football expert Joel Klatt believes that while the Raiders will contemplate trading up in the draft for a quarterback or staying put and drafting a quarterback with the sixth pick, they will draft cornerback Will Johnson from Michigan in the first round.

2/03/25	Two Michigan players projected to go top-5 in latest ESPN NFL mock draft. Michigan's football program has never had two players selected inside the top five of the same NFL draft. It is still early in the 2025 NFL draft process with the NFL Scouting Combine, pro days and many interviews with teams still to come, but one ESPN draft analyst could see two Wolverines off the board in the first five picks during the April 24 first round. In his mock draft, released Monday, Matt Miller projected defensive tackle Mason Graham to the New England Patriots at No. 4 overall, followed by cornerback Will Johnson heading to the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 5.

1/08/25	Jets Predicted To Target Michigan Star Cornerback In Upcoming NFL Draft. The New York Jets finished the 2024 season with a 5-12 record, cementing themselves as one of the ten worst teams in the league. With this record, the Jets landed the No. 7 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. The Jets should have their pick of a few talented players when they are on the clock. Justin Fried of The Jet Press recently predicted the Jets to target star Michigan cornerback Will Johnson with their top selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.

12/31/24	NFL Draft: Jacksonville Jaguars to select fifth overall. Travis Hunter an unlikely prize. The shift would likely take the team out of the running for talented do-it-all Colorado cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter and potentially out of the running for one of the Michigan defenders, defensive lineman Mason Graham and cornerback Will Johnson. The draft doesn't stop after those three players, however, and there could be some intriguing talent Jacksonville snags after the consensus "elite" players are off the board.
