A six-pack of Hurricanes notes on a Wednesday:
u25aa ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. last week weighed in on UM’s draft eligible players and projected that defensive tackle Gerald Willis could go late in the first round or the second round and Joe Jackson in the second round. NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah spoke highly of Jackson and UM safeties Jaquan Johnson and Sheldrick Redwine.
I spoke with two NFL people for some additional thoughts.
One NFC executive agreed that Willis and Jackson are UM’s top prospects in this draft, but sees Willis going in the second round and Jackson in the second or third.
