Here are a few write–ups from Michigan sites:
On QBs:
...based on the output at quarterback during the spring game it seems like the competition is wide open and they’re far from deciding on QB1.
After the game, Michigan offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell addressed adding a QB through the portal,"Roster evaluation is always part of the process. But right now, you know, that's not something we're looking at."
On RBs:
...Edwards is the cut-and-dry RB1 this season and how good of a season he has will greatly influence the trajectory of Michigan’s offense this season.
On WRs:
How do you know Michigan needs to add receivers in the transfer portal? When its own receivers acknowledged after the game they could benefit from the extra help.
On OL and DL:
[The OL] group is still a question mark to me. I'm not sure if Michigan needs to add an offensive lineman through the portal, but the linemen on campus showed room to improve on Saturday. The defensive front definitely won the majority of battles Saturday, both in run defense and the pass-rush. That's very normal in a spring game against a good defense, but the game was a reminder that this room, even if talented, still has work to do to compare to the past three seasons' successes.
On Kicking:
...The field goal kicking is a concern.
Overall:
The defense will be elite...
...Michigan’s defense could carry the team this year, especially in the early going of the season while the offense tries to gel with so many new starters (quarterback, receiver, offensive line).
