Mel Kiper has high marks for Michigan's Cesar Ruiz, Ben Bredeson, Josh Uche
A few years ago, it was like pulling teeth to find something nice to say about Michigan’s offensive line. Now, after two years under position coach Ed Warinner, a couple of Wolverines are projected to go high in the upcoming NFL Draft.
ESPN analyst Mel Kiper believes center Cesar Ruiz, who left Michigan with a year of eligibility remaining, could be a late first-round selection and said Ben Bredeson, a two-year captain, is the best pure guard in the draft. Kiper, speaking on a conference call Wednesday, also said linebacker Josh Uche, who turned heads with his performance last month at the Senior Bowl, will be the top Michigan defensive selection in the draft.
