[@JoelKlattShow]

Which player(s) will you be "planting the flag" on?

[@dodu8281]

jermaine burton and black watson. watson might be undrafted....

[@nolandavis9040]

Edgerrin Cooper from A&M. I watched him play last year and he was the driving force behind A&Ms defense. I was very very impressed with the instincts.

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

Xavier Leggette, I want my patriots to get him with the second pic

[@GriddyProductions523]

I think Chop Robinson is underrated. Also, Quinyon Mitchell.

[@kenyonsivels3221]

I appreciate you giving Newton some love. The only thing “wrong” with him is where he goes to school. At Michigan/bama/Georgia/etc he gets way more recognition

[@troyrichard3668]

Mikey Sainristil cemented his legacy when he broke up that endzone pass against Ohio st in 2022..That was the moment I knew this team was different and this guy is not going to let us lose - We are the Natty Champs because of guys like Mikey..

[@SuperSuperGenius]

Agreed. Also, Corum > Brooks

[@troyrichard3668]

​​@@SuperSuperGenius 100%, that Jumpcut is serious

[@leehurst172]

Mikey got snubbed for defensive POG in the natty😤

[@maxton-_-4243]

That was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen from a DB, technique was literally perfect

[@Minidorf2210]

Whatever Mike lacks in terms of size he more than makes up for in how he reads the game. His football IQ is off the charts, and I believe he will do well in the NFL. I will forever be a huge fan of his! I’m hoping someone takes a chance on him. I fully believe he’ll pay back their belief in him, in spades!

[@gregschulte2953]

The Sainristil kid is next level, comparing him to Honey Badger is fair in how he impacts games. When a play is being made, he is almost always involved from what I've seen. Loved the H. Badger, but Sainristil is a great leader out there as well - only 2 years playing D...look out.

[@pdgoblue2518]

Yeah, you just have to look at what Jalen Mcmillan said about him

Ever since he switched to D I've said to myself someone made that kid a bunch of $ with convincing him to switch sides. Dude would've never made the league as a WR

[@jwells1914]

Mike Sainristril will walk into an nfl locker room and find his way onto the field strictly on football IQ. His instincts are second to none. The Honey Badger comparison is very fair because Mikey makes big plays.

[@clarkbowen8158]

He's also a natural leader

[@downtownbrown50]

I do not think that Stainristrl has the speed that honey badger did coming out, but I agree he could be as good or better. He may have better instincts and work ethic, and attitude than HB. You may recall that Honey Badger got kicked off the team at LSU.

[@jonnybgood5764]

Mikey is one of my favorite defensive players from Mich all time. He made so many plays in huge games! He's like Woodson, I'd draft him in a sec.

[@jaymoret7418]

It's funny to see people still sleeping on how great this Michigan team was. When Charles Woodson says he loves you as a player and leader, you're in rarified air. Mike Sainristil is one of the greatest Michigan football players and leaders of all time. Wish him nothing but the best in the NFL. Rooting for his success.

Real Talk

[@stevenselleck5460]

We're about to set a record for nfl draft picks as well as 10+ picks next year. Pretty much an entire NFL staff plus a top 10 pick at qb. The people who say this is the worst champion in a while are either just coping or ignorant of the facts

[@Cyptoking33]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@stevenselleck5460your logic is so circular.

[@stevenselleck5460]

@@Cyptoking33 the claim is michigan was not a great team or I've heard "the worst champion in 20 years". I provided a bunch of evidence to the contrary. Nothing circular about it

[@Cyptoking33]

@@stevenselleck5460 “a bunch of evidence” - you mean the number of nfl draft picks argument? That is only one source of “evidence” (please learn how to count) and it is not a good source. Second, it is extremely circular. The talent level is lower overall across the ncaa compared to previous years. Having more drafts picks is great but not if the depth of the talent poll is lower than previous years. The fact that Michigan has many nfl draft picks does not disprove the opinion that Michigan is not a good champion relative to previous years.

[@michaelbayerl1683]

Mike Sainristil still took WR reps at UofM pro day ;-)

[@macc24usc79]

But he's Ed Reed 🤦🤦🤦

[@DeshCanter]

Joel’s spot on re: Sainristil. Off the charts football intelligence, off the charts poise, great speed and agility. The only issue for him at the NFL level is his size. It won’t prevent him from being a Swiss Army knife on special teams, but he won’t likely get the nod as a defensive secondary starter, except against certain offenses and players.

[@Janthdanl]

Sanristil is going to be a steal in the draft

[@davehinkle7497]

An Alabama player said after the Rose Bowl that Sanristril was calling out the Bama plays when they were lined up.

[@brianjamds6617]

Not shocking. He watched more film than any guy on that defense.

[@robertsmall1657]

In 30 years of understanding football… I have never watched a guy like Mike Sainristil. I swear everytime Michigan made a big play, he was there. Either causing the fumble, or shedding a block, pressuring the qb, cutting off the route, i always saw number 0. Watch some highlights and tell me I’m wrong.

[@Jbcomedystl]

One of my fav Michigan players all time. It was so funny how every game in the playoffs I kept saying “mikes gonna run one back” he gave up that big play vs bama ….then boom championship game almost runs it back. He is a hawk, he lays wood, and he’s a great leader.

[@tigger745268]

Reminds you of troy Polamalu a bit with being around the ball

[@tomfreese5190]

Mike Sainristil reminds me of Troy Polamalu. Not tall, but a real ball hawk and effective player.

[@Lock3d8]

I think Mikey sanristil will be elite in the nfl due to the fact that he has played WR but switched to nickel, he knows how WRs think and can jump routes as well as lay the boom due to his high football IQ, excited to see how these guys turn out in the league

[@jeremiahw1369]

This is the kind of draft content I like. Big board and position ranking also over mocks.

[@Newtperc]

Roman Wilson literally saved Michigan’s season with the tipped pass catch against Bama. May well have been a game ending pick six if he didn’t snag that throw.

[@abdultaylor6571]

Roman Wilson will be a solid pro. I think he's being overlooked bc Michigan bludgeoned teams with the run.

[@JoelKlattShow]

They stayed so true to their plan and blueprint! He is a tremendous player and think that he proved his NFL readiness at the Senior Bowl. -Joel

[@YourAverageFan]

Sainristil is one of those guys where idk what he’s going to be in the NFL but he’s going to be something. Safety, Nickel, Returner, Special Teamer. He’ll do it for 10 years.

[@stephencalhoun3034]

Mike Sainristill is a Michigan legend. One of my all time favorites. He made play after play. Ultimate leader.

[@Ynkno]

hes 5'8 4.7 though..

[@thenowherenew]

[@DDPMonster]

I like a lot of the Michigan OL to be very solid pros and will go later. There will be guys like Zinter, Nugent, and Henderson who could slide down the board and teams will be very happy when they make those picks.

[@likejimi5845]

As a Penn State fan it's true that Newton is a freaking game wrecker 😂 Interested to see where he goes

[@JoelKlattShow]

It is so rare for an interior DL to have his quickness and play-making ability. Guy is a stud. -Joel

[@Steve-fh1ln]

I agree. He's being so slept on. I think he might be the best defensive player in the draft... Or at least the best Defensive Lineman.

[@johnchapko4042]

great info

[@ryantaylor5297]

My (mostly) less obvious ones: - Bo Nix - Keon Coleman - Kitan Oladapo - Malachi Corley - Zach Frazier - Adonai Mitchell - T’Vondre Sweat - Fuaga (my second favourite OT in the draft) - Verse. Best defender in the draft, and I **love** Newton/Murphy/Mitchell/Turner. I just think Verse is insane. - Renardo Green

[@tombyrne9003]

I absolutely love Jared Verse. Really hope the bears take him at 9

[@eugenedenbrook322]

You got it. Keon gets lost in the WR depth of this draft, but he is legit

[@mukuzChannel]

​@eugenedenbrook322 he gets lost because this is a special WR class, and Keon tested really poorly

[@tombyrne9003]

@@mukuzChannel he did in the 40 but he absolutely crushed the gauntlet drill. We all knew Coleman didn’t have top end speed before they ran the 40 so that didn’t change my opinion of him much

[@mukuzChannel]

@tombyrne9003 100% but the 40 confirmed what we knew, he's not a good separator and that is something that's a big negative especially when you have such elite separators in this class

[@TomReichner]

Joel, thank you for solid analysis on players that are not obvious top ten selections. I am especially interested in the positions of safety, DT, LB, and all of the OL positions. We are totally oversaturated with coverage of QB, WR, edge, and CB, and don't really need more info on those prospects.

Easiest most recent comp for Saingrisal is Brian "Buckshot" Branch

[@Treemendous_1]

I can just see Mikey and Branch controlling the Lion’s defensive secondary and I can’t wait .

[@pdexBigTeacher]

As an fellow HS alum of both Fashanu and Caleb Williams (many decades removed), there is an expectation as young men they have committed to, which I know bodes well for them as professionals. I'm hoping Penix goes to Las Vegas; a new Snake for the Silver & Black. This Wolverine hasn't seen a more impactful db than Sainristil since Woodson. 15-18 years from now he could become another Tony Dungy.

MIKEY SAINRISTIL 🥶

[@TomReichner]

Joel, I am interested to know - do you think that Mikey Sainristil will be a more effective NFL player than Cooper DeJean? Particularly interested because both are Malcolm Jenkins types who are versatile and flexible at any of the D-back positions.

[@DannyWilliamH]

Penix is going to have a better career than most of the other QBs deemed to ve in the top 6. I'll say Daniels and Nix outright. McCarthy will depend on where he goes, if the team he goes to has a good QB coach and allows him to mature into thee role. Maye... I'm actually not as high on Maye as most so I'll put Maye and Williams at 50/50. Mike Sainristil? Just gonna play very high-level football for the next 8-10 years. That's all. Just gonna be a very good player for someone over the next decade. If two inches taller he'd be a 1st round lock. Roman Wilson? Incredibly underrated. Again, just gonna be a solid WR in The NFL for the next 8-10 years. If 2 inches taller he'd be a 1st arounder. Newton? Monster. Should be a 1st rounder. Has everything.

[@Dupreehundo-rq3bq]

Renardo green is criminally underrated

[@mark11967AD]

Fashanu has been listed as high as 7th in draft definitely a no brainer, Newton you hear analysts touting his skills, Franklin watched him play definitely impressed, and Brooks will be a good back for sure. Just depends on your needs and where they’re available.

[@lanikutcher4045]

Careful Katt. I remember you saying I wouldn't draft Justin Herbert in the 1st round.

[@MGoBlue6969]

Fashanu is a great player. I think at least a lot of media is falling victim to top player fatigue placing guys like Alt over Fashanu. There's a handful of that at the top of this draft where the top guys have been the top guys for 2+ yrs

[@tomm.6265]

Joe Alt has been one of them all year best tackle in College football absolutely no doubt

[@clarkbowen8158]

My last mock as a Packer fan was Newton at #25 and Sainristil at #41 on PFF platform. Kenny Clarks future is uncertain and they really need a premium slot CB. Newton is the second coming of John Randall the great former Viking DT. Sainristil is just a playmaker and leader.

[@therealdude1]

21:45 that was a fckn interception. He never controlled that ball.

[@daltonoftheyear]

klatt is best mind in college football commentary right now, listen up gm's.

[@user-en9qd5nx8w]

I've been watching him every year for some time, he's got a great finger on the pulse of college football. Rarely is he wrong. Folks need to remember that it's all about seeing potential when analyzing college prospects to the NFL. Some guys will be busts and it's not because the analyst didn't see something wrong, but rather they bust because of the player is not living up to their potential, the team fit didn't work out, etc. Ryan Leaf for example was talented, was a good prospect, but the dude pretty much killed his own career.

Brock Bowers was OUTSIDE the of the sideline when he stretched the ball past the line-to-gain. OSU got ripped off. It's just like if you are at the goal line and stretch the ball over the goal line but outside of the pylon. It is not a TD and that WAS NOT a first down.

[@RKGrizz]

Nubin reminds me of Vonn Bell if he could catch.

[@IWsBIxMuRDeR]

Sainristil is an absolute steal if he doesnt get taken in the first round, im not sure what was missed in his play but he is going to be a long time starter in the nfl. I don't agree on Roman Wilson though, he was mediocre. He was just the only WR at Michigan that wasnt awful, so he was used a lot. I think he will be a career player but will just bounce around team to team.

[@DeshCanter]

He was clutch in big plays….Ohio State, Alabama, et al.

[@sethkrueger9294]

Ice cold take. 🥶 It's actually shocking how direct of a comparison Wilson is to Amon-Ra St. Brown, who's well on his way to a HOF career. Plus, you sabotaged your own argument - if he was really the only WR Michigan had(and Cornelius Johnson is going to be a sleeper pick too BTW), then he should have been a non-factor as defenses honed in on him. So why did he finish #9 in FBS in TD catches? At a 25% rate, no less!

[@LionsOnTheHunt313]

Penei Sewell would like a word with you Joel.... Sewell>>>>>Fashanu as a prospect 💯

[@rexrandall33]

Thought you where going to compare Sainristil to Charles Woodson.

[@shoob7979]

I wonder if those people in the NFL are as concerned as they once may have been with the injury history with Penix? If he was an excellent prospect as a freshman and sophomore yet was hobbled by injuries to finish up in College, we'd still have people saying "oh, remember this guy early on and what he's capable of so if he can avoid injury as a pro then skys the limit!" Which I think would scare teams more than what Michael Penix is dealing with which is exactly the opposite.

[@otisjohnjr.3023]

Had Penix and Williams played in the B1G conference, their numbers and control of the pocket would not have looked like that. Michigan showed exactly the problems they would have had. The defense both will face in the NFL will be more difficult on them.

[@user-zr4km5ns8t]

You don't just "get over" the injury concerns. Penix was barely touched the last two years behind the best O-line in college football. Out of 1109 pass attempts, he was sacked only 16 times in those two years, or 1 in every 69 drop backs. That's an elite sack percentage of 1.4%. By contrast, at Indiana he went down the same number of times in half the pass attempts, or 1 in every 34 attempts. Without bothering to dig up the knock down stats, it stands to reason he was under a lot more pressure before he got behind that Washington O-line.

[@JBeck9932]

Can my Falcons please draft some DAWGS!?

[@TylerGrovogel-jm5wn]

No one talking that Kenny Clark is on his final year and Newton would make so much since as the next guy on that dline

[@Selling-McCarthyism]

I know this isn’t a debate but hear me out. Penix has proven you can rely on his arm and he has top 10 NFL mobility (per pro day). McCarthy is a proven winner but I can’t definitively say you can CONSISTENTLY rely on his arm. I think Penix works wherever he goes. He’s more pro ready. McCarthy needs a bit of work, but the intangibles are there.

[@stevensoles2158]

Penix will be a bust fragile and brittle bones

[@HakeemTheDream616]

McCarthy will be a guy to take your offense to the next level, and win you a Superbowl the same he did at Michigan.

[@leehurst172]

My hope for McCarthy is that he sits behind somebody for a year or two, similar to how he did with Cade McNamara. The kid is special, but he's young. By far his best attribute is his truly unflappable attitude. Let him learn the pace of the game and then he'll start dishing success to his teammates.

Bowers is better teammate than player. Win SB’s with guys like this.

[@Tonehawkdawg]

If the 49ers had some Penix, they'd win 2-3 Superbowls in the next 5 years.

[@keithcrook8591]

I’ll take the 30k ft view of Penix jr….two separate tears of his right ACL, significant injuries to BOTH shoulders and the guy is gonna be nearly 30 by the time he gets to the 5th year option. Don’t care how great he throws…no thanks.

[@cmonnnow]

he'll be 28.... thats not even close to 30

[@scgtyur]

@@cmonnnowuhhh yes it is. Math is hard

[@ZackShortes]

In todays NFL, the trend is to Build a team around your QB while he is on a rookie contract, because its cost prohibitive after that. As far as the age argument goes, with the modern rules, qb are playing into their 40s if theyre even decent backups. Take a guy, try him for 5 years, if he isnt the next (insert icon) then you let him go and you do it again, all while continuing to build the pieces around them. Basically the opposite of what Dallas is doing.

@@scgtyur uhh no it ain't, thats 2 seasons worth of ball to be played....perspective ain't your forte

[@aidanlarsen]

He got major injuries when he wasn’t playing in the right system. When he got into the right system he didn’t get injured once

Sam Laporta is a better tight end than Brock Bowers.Brock may be a better weapon, but Sam Laporta is a great blocker and has the prototypical size. Brock is undersized which may limit him at the next level.

[@IamBlackMagic03]

It won't limit him because the game now is vertical and pass heavy. Depending on the team or OC he will be put in position to do what he does best, which is catch passes. If you're drafting this kid to be someone who will be blocking a lot then you should lose your job. It's why a lot of teams have their TE who is the main receiver and others who catch a pass every now and then but block mostly

[@FrederickHolmes-hz2hs]

Bowers looks like Gronk style TE..

[@samgatiru4223]

Maybe even more athletic

[@Ish393]

I think of Mikey of a little lower level Honey Badger.

[@ryanrichardson9915]

Santristil will end up in Seattle.
