That Kris Jenkins was a hell of a player to be completely honest. Very valuable contributor on some good teams.
Here's the NFL.com draft info on Reiman:

Draft Projection
Round 4
Overview
The former walk-on became a team captain in 2023. He's a huge Y tight end capable of becoming a quality run blocker in the NFL. Hand placement limits his consistency, but that should get corrected. He blocks with good leg drive and plays with some nasty at the point of attack. He'll be better working double-teams and combo blocks than blocking in space. He's the type of garden-variety pass catcher that you would expect a run-blocking specialist to be. Reiman's career will be defined by how he blocks, which should be good enough to make it in the league.
Strengths
- Outstanding size and lean mass for an in-line blocker.
- Possesses adequate length and huge hands.
- Big target for quick sink routes against zone.
- Impressive leg drive to wash down defensive ends.
- Lays into defenders in space with meaningful pop.
- Blocks with ideal base and mirror when asked to protect passer.
Weaknesses
- Heavy-legged into his routes and breaks.
- Unable to separate from man coverage in the seam.
- Lacks upper-body agility to open and catch throws behind him.
- Needs to block with tighter hands in the run game.
- Must improve body control and positioning to better sustain.

Tip went a lot earlier than I was expecting...nice

With the 85th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select Zak Zinter, OG, Michigan.
Rich Eisen has gotten to have some fun tonight.
Three more Bielema-developed kids drafted.
Lovie could eye talent, Bielema can develop it. If Lovie could do the latter, he'd still be coaching.
With the 93rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select Adisa Isaac, DE, Penn State.

Along with knowing which plays were always coming, but yes-lots of talent on last year’s Michigan team.
What’s a bummer is Adam’s had to play out of position almost the entire year. He was a dominant guard that struggled at right tackle.
So after 3 rounds the Illini have more players drafted than Ohio State. Not too bad.
And also in a sign of how good both teams were last year, both Michigan and Washington have the most picks thus far. I think about half of the Washington offense from last season has been picked already.
More players drafted than a lot of bowl teams. Yet found a way to lose enough to get to 5-7. Illinois FB summed up not so nicely. Maybe some day it will be different.
This was a real lost opportunity. Big fan of Bielema but I really hope we don't look back at this past year and rue the loss of momentum.
