Ten-year NFL draft snapshot: Wisconsin Badgers

When you think of Wisconsin, you think of an offense built around a punishing rushing attack led by mammoth offensive linemen. And those ?big uglies? that pave the way have been the players picked most often in the last 10 NFL drafts, as 10 offensive linemen have been selected. And that total will rise in 2017, as Ryan Ramczyk is graded by most as the top offensive tackle prospect in the draft.

Every position has been represented in the last 10 drafts for Wisconsin, which has had six first-round picks since 2007. And several Badgers could be picked in this year?s draft, held April 27-29 in Philadelphia.

Plenty of other Badgers figure to be selected this week in addition to Ramczyk-who looks to be a first-round pick. LB T.J. Watt should be a second-round pick. Fellow LB Vince Biegel looks like a middle-round pick along with RB Corey Clement. CB Sojourn Shelton, RB Dare Ogunbowale and QB Bart Houston project as seventh-rounders. SS Leo Musso and WR Robert Wheelwright likely will have to settle for being free-agents.

Here is a look at how Wisconsin has fared in the last 10 NFL drafts.
