Hmmnm, wonder what Badgers they were looking at? Possible thoughts:
-I think Nick Toon will be a decent possession guy at the next level, but we've already got someone like him in Jordy. If Driver retires and we get rid of JJ we could possibly consider taking him somewhere around round 3.
-Wagner, Oglesby, and Zeitler should all be decent NFL-material, and we always like to take a chance with an O-linemen in rounds 4-7, so could possibly be one of them.
-We don't really have much of a need for a safety, but Aaron Henry is a good athlete and could probably contribute on ST.
-Finnelus is definitely undersized for a CB at a generously listed 5'9", but he has GREAT ball skills and can blanket receivers pretty well.
-The big question is Russell Wislon. At 5'11, can he play QB at the next level? He's looked pretty sharp so far...if not, I'm not sure he;s a good enough athlete to play a different position.
