Other locals in the draft:
Jamar Adams, U-M SS
Vitals: 6-feet-2, 212 pounds.
The skinny: After recording 80 total tackles in his first three seasons for Michigan, he had 92 as a senior -- as well as three interceptions.
Adrian Arrington, U-M WR
Vitals: 6-3, 203.
The skinny: He played only one season as a starter for Michigan; some draft boards think he still has room to improve.
James Blair, Western Michigan OG
Vitals: 6-3, 323.
The skinny: Blair, one of eight Mid-American Conference players invited to the combine, also participated in the Hula Bowl Classic and the Texas vs. the Nation Challenge.
Brandon Carr, Grand Valley State CB
Vitals: 6-0, 207.
The skinny: He reportedly did well at pro days at Michigan State and Central Michigan, and has been meeting with various NFL teams.
Shawn Crable, Michigan OLB
Vitals: 6-5, 245.
The skinny: His 28.5 tackles for loss in 2007 were second-most in the nation, behind sophomore George Selvie's 31.5 for South Florida.
Vernon Gholston, Ohio State DE
High school: Detroit Cass Tech.
Vitals: 6-3, 265.
The skinny: A top-10 pick, if not top five. Gholston set Ohio State sack records for the season (14) and a game (four) in 2007.
Mike Hart,
U-M RB
Vitals: 5-9, 206.
The skinny: Michigan fans know he has the heart and drive to succeed in the NFL, but does he have the size and skills?
Chad Henne, U-M QB
Vitals: 6-3, 230.
The skinny: Could be the second Wolverine taken in the draft, perhaps in the second round. Can he come close to the NFL success of former U-M QB Tom Brady ... or even Brian Griese?
Jason Jones, Eastern Michigan DE
Vitals: 6-5, 273.
The skinny: Had 50 tackles for loss in last three seasons for Eagles.
Jake Long,
U-M OT
Vitals: 6-7, 313.
The skinny: Already signed five-year, $57.75-million contract to be No. 1 overall pick of Miami Dolphins.
Mario Manningham, U-M WR
Vitals: 6-0, 181.
The skinny: How will teams react to his admission that he failed two drug tests at Michigan, then lied about it at the combine? He performed much better at Michigan's pro day for scouts than he did at the combine.
Jalen Parmele, Toledo RB
High school: Midland Dow.
Vitals: 6-0, 224.
The skinny: Averaged 125.9 rushing yards in 12 games in 2007, ninth-best in the country.
