Overview
Minor was a part-time starter for the past two seasons at Michigan. He has shown the ability to be productive when healthy but has missed a lot of time over the past two years. He does a good job of running behind his pads and will stick his foot in the ground and head up into the hole with a lot of authority, but he does not make many people miss once he gets to the second level. He is a good blocker when asked to stay in for pass protection but is not very effective as a receiver out of the backfield. He has a chance as a backup who could develop into an adequate situational player, but he lacks the tools to be a front-line ball carrier.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Lacks the top-end speed to consistently reach the edge and break big runs. A bit stiff in the hips and struggles to make people miss in space. Does not have the ball skills or route-running ability to be a factor in the passing game at the next level. Missed a lot of games due to injury in college, and durability is a concern.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
