Wisconsin badgers
DON’T MISS: Where will the Wisconsin Badgers be picked in 2024 NFL Draft?

Just Tanor Bortolini, an offensive lineman, and Peter Bowden, a long snapper, were Wisconsin players who participated in the 2024 Senior Bowl. With his performance in both practice and the game, Bortolini significantly improved his draft stock.
It is nearly a given that a few Badgers will hear their names called throughout the three days the Draft will be held because, like most colleges, a number of Wisconsin athletes declared for the NFL Draft.
This is a prediction of which players will be selected in the draft and which ones might become undrafted free agents.
103. Braelon Allen
Round 4 | Pick 103
During his first three seasons as a college player, Braelon Allen amazed everyone by surpassing 1,000 yards in passing. He then repeated the feat in his sophomore season and finished just 16 yards short of 1,000 yards in his final season as a Badger. Allen is presently listed as Mel Kiper Jr.’s ninth-choice running back on his extensive draft board. Additionally, he received an invitation to the NFL Combine, which is in a few weeks.
Despite being large for a running back, Allen can break tackles by using his size to his advantage. His one drawback as a large man is that he finds it difficult to get small enough to fit through running lanes. He is a reliable pass catcher who is primarily utilized when a quarterback is under pressure on a check-down.
Allen would be a valuable backup running back on third-down plays for any NFL team. Two teams that immediately spring to mind are the Cowboys and the Ravens. The Ravens can easily add to their potent run offense, while the Cowboys need a strong physical back to add to their running game.
155. Tanor Bortolini
Round 5 | Pick 155
When practicing for the Senior Bowl, Tanor Bortolini did a lot of favors for himself. He demonstrated his strength and skill at successfully blocking rushers. He demonstrated good movement and athleticism to maintain the block and shield the quarterback.
Before switching to center for the most of the time in 2023, Bortolini served as a utility offensive lineman in 2022, playing right tackle, left tackle, and center. On Mel Kiper Jr.’s extensive draft board, he is ranked as the sixth-best center, and his draft status could yet rise.
For NFL clubs, depth on the offensive line is essential. Despite the fact that these players are beasts for what they endure on the field, someone else must step up after only one back hit or fall. Bortolini is a player that any team would be happy to coach since he is so malleable and teachable. This Badger might be the ideal addition to any of the many teams that might use more depth on their line.
