Butt goes to Denver, Michigan football still chasing draft record

As Michigan chases the NFL modern draft record of 14 selections, Day 3 is the Wolverines moving day.

Six players were taken the first two days -- Jabrill Peppers and Taco Charlton in the first round, then Chris Wormley, Jourdan Lewis, Delano Hill and Amara Darboh in the third round. That gave the Wolverines their biggest haul since the 2008 draft when seven U-M players were selected, and today there are four rounds to go.

When Jake Butt was drafted to open the fifth round, he became the 10th U-M player picked, the most since 10 Wolverines went in the 1974 draft.
