Four Michigan Football Players Go In 1st-Round Of PFN’s 2025 Mock Draft
Pro Football Network came out with their latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft that featured four Michigan football players going in the first round. While ESPN’s first ’25 mock draft had three Wolverines — all three went in the top 15. Whereas in the PFN’s mock draft, only one Wolverine was selected in the top 15 and the others were later draft picks.
Let’s dive into where the four Michigan players ended up going in PFN’s 2025 mock draft.
This feels like an A+ fit for Johnson. Until New England can figure out its offensive woes, the Patriots will have to continue to rely on their defense. If the Patriots could add the top cornerback to their roster and build around him for the future, it would be excellent for both parties. Johnson locked down two of the top receivers last season when Michigan faced Ohio State and Washington. Johnson allowed just three catches when he covered Marvin Harrison Jr. and Rome Odunze — including an interception.
Yeah, I don’t see Mason Graham dropping this far, but if he did — a homerun for the Rams. Graham is arguably the top-ranked interior defensive lineman in college football. The junior had a 90.0 PFF grade last season and was among the best as a sophomore who rotated with Kris Jenkins and Kenneth Grant. Graham is going to play the bulk of the snaps in 2024 for the Wolverines and will likely make an even bigger impact on the field. Graham is sneaky good at getting to the quarterback as a DT and is one of the best run-stuffers there is.
ESPN did not feature Kenneth Grant in the first round of its 2025 mock draft, but it’s likely he is. The Falcons have gone after the offensive side of the football in recent drafts, but it’s time for Atlanta to shift its focus to the defense. The Falcons need someone to clog the middle and that’s exactly what big Kenneth Grant can do. An underrated athlete, Grant is right up there with Mason Graham at stuffing the run and is just as good at bringing down the quarterback. His speed will shock many people.
Not sure Colston Loveland drops this far, but once again, if he does — a homerun pick for the Packers. Loveland is viewed by many as the top tight end in the country and is going to be the top target on the Michigan offense in 2024. He was already a safety blanket for J.J. McCarthy last year with guys like Roman Wilson and Cornelius Johnson on the team. But now that McCarthy is gone, Alex Orji — or whoever starts — will be looking Loveland’s way plenty. He is an all-around tight end who blocks well but has elite hands too.

DETROIT, Mich. (WILX)—Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance will return to Michigan on Tuesday.
The Ohio senator will speak at the Eastern Market in Detroit at 2 p.m. This will be the candidate’s eighth visit to the State of Michigan.
Vance is expected to discuss the economy and the auto industry.
This visit comes less than a week after he spoke at the Berlin Raceway and Entertainment Complex in Marne. He said he or former President Trump would probably be in Michigan every week until the election.

Michigan is a swing state with a significant impact on the presidential election. From the 1970s to the 1980s, Michigan voted Republican before voting Democrat from the 1990s to 2012.
Things changed again in 2016 when Michigan voted for Donald Trump, giving him a narrow win against his opponent at the time, Hillary Clinton. While the Great Lakes State voted in favor of Democrat Joe Biden in 2020, it’s anyone’s guess what will happen during this year’s election.
With Election Day only about a month away, the question becomes this: If Trump gets re-elected, how will that impact Michigan residents’ finances? Here are a few possibilities.

Earning passive income doesn’t need to be difficult. You can start this week.
Positive Impact on Select Industries
If you live in Michigan and work in certain industries, a Trump presidency could be a good thing for your wallet.
“A Trump presidency would have a positive impact on the finances of Michigan residents,” said Kevin Jerry, a nationally recognized expert in tax method changes and owner of Kevin A Jerry MST & Associates.
It might depend on the industry, though. In particular, Michigan is known for its automotive, manufacturing, tech, engineering, defense and professional services sectors. If Trump is elected, his policies could also support growth and innovation in these areas, good news for those hoping for higher wages or better opportunities.

Expansion of the Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017
The Tax Cuts and Job Act (TCJA) of 2017 has had a massive impact on tax law. Most of the changes it’s brought about — specifically those that impact individual finances — are set to expire in 2026.
Trump was the one who originally signed the TCJA into law. If he’s elected for a second term, he could very well expand it beyond its current timeline.
“The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 will most likely be reinstated,” said Jerry. “That means the R&D tax credit, bonus depreciation on commercial buildings and residential rentals, as well as a continued 21% C Corporation tax will mean more jobs at higher wages because higher corporate profits will lead to more investments in plant, equipment and people.”
Some Prices Could Go Down
According to Jerry, a Trump presidency would have a largely beneficial impact on taxpayers. It’s possible that some of his policies would bring prices down, which would alleviate some financial stress.
However, certain policies could have an adverse effect on prices.
Trump has proposed enacting a tariff on foreign-made goods. This could support domestic businesses, which would be good for entrepreneurs and business owners. But it would also lead to higher prices on imported products. For those who primarily buy domestic goods, this might not have much of a direct impact, but only time will tell.
Housing Prices Could Continue To Rise
According to the S&P Corelogic Case-Shiller Index, U.S. housing prices are at an all-time high. The median sales price is $412,300.
As of now, Trump hasn’t specifically indicated how he plans to address the housing crisis issue. If prices remain as high as they are, or if interest rates continue to remain high (though there has been some improvement on that end), homeownership could remain out of reach.
There is potentially good news, however. The median sales price of single-family homes in Michigan is $260,000, significantly lower than the national median. For those who’d benefit from potentially higher wages or better career opportunities, this could make homeownership more achievable. There’s just no guarantee that prices will drop.
Stocks Could Benefit
The stock market has always been volatile, regardless of who’s in office. For individuals who’ve invested in stocks, a Trump presidency could be beneficial.
A recent CNBC survey found that 67% of individual investors feel that Trump would be good for the stock market. During his initial term, the Nasdaq rose 137%, while the S&P 500 rose 68%. In contrast, the Nasdaq has only risen 34% and the S&P 500 has risen 44% under the Biden-Harris administration (as of June 2024).
Regardless of location, those who rely heavily on stocks — either for passive income or as part of their retirement planning — could benefit from Trump. For long-term investors, the current U.S. president might not have as much of an impact.

Oregon Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel exited for a play in the first half of Friday’s Big Ten home opener against the Michigan State Spartans. After being hit on a throw, Gabriel went down with an apparent injury and was treated by Oregon’s athletic trainers. As a result, he was required to leave the field for a play.
Backup Dante Moore entered, which officially marked his Big Ten debut.
Moore then took over the reins for good in the fourth quarter before the Ducks secured the 31-10 win. On Moore’s first full drive, Oregon went three-and-out after an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on second down set the Ducks back. After that, Moore completed a seven-yard pass to Jurrion Dickey before running for six yards on 3rd and 18.
He wasn’t able to see anymore significant action, as the Spartans drained out most of the remaining clock before knocking in a field goal with 10 seconds to play. Moore then took the final kneel down to seal the win.
In a short sample size, Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning still had high praise for the backup quarterback.
“What he shows on the game field is the same things we see in practice,” said Lanning. “I think he was able to operate cleanly tonight, but I want to be able and go watch the tape and see what I can pick from that.”
Moore, a transfer from UCLA, fixes to be the starter for the Ducks once Gabriel moves on next season. He said prior to the 2024 campaign that he’s feeling “way more comfortable.”
“Overall, going through fall camp, I’m way more comfortable,” Moore said. “Checking calls, checking protections — I’m just feeling more comfortable from what Coach Stein has taught us.”
Last season with the Bruins, he went 114 of 213 passing for 1,610 yards, 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
Headed into Friday’s meeting with the Spartans, Moore had appeared in just one game this season, as he saw action in the 49-14 win over Oregon State on Sept. 14. He went 3 of 3 passing for 15 yards in mop-up duty.
A Detroit native, Moore came out of Martin Luther King High School as a five-star quarterback and one of the best players in the 2023 recruiting class. He had offers from programs like LSU, Auburn, Georgia, Michigan, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State and many more.
He was a part of a talented 2023 quarterback class that included big names like Arch Manning, Nico Iamaleava, Malachi Nelson. Jackson Arnold, Avery Johnson, Jaden Rashada and current Oregon Duck quarterback Austin Novosad.
Across four years in high school, Moore went 623 of 893 passing for 9,880 yards, 135 touchdowns and 20 interceptions.
If Moore can continue to enter games while Gabriel is healthy, that will spell success for the Ducks, as it signals that Lanning feels comfortable with a big lead.
Barring an injury to Gabriel, it’s unlikely that Moore will see action in next week’s pivotal Big Ten matchup against the Ohio State Buckeyes next Saturday at Autzen Stadium. Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. PT.
