2018 Wisconsin Badgers football

Are you referring to something beyond Edwards declaring and Hornibrook leaving?

Yes. Look around for the rumor that connects Hornibrook, Edwards, and Hornibrook's first concussion.

 

Edwards is a guy who has a chance to go in the 2nd

I'm betting against that.

 

Here are combine numbers for two well-known guys around here:

 

David Edwards: 5.28 40-yard, 25.5 vertical, 99 broad, 7.69 3-cone, 4.77 20-yard shuttle, passed on bench

Jason Spriggs: 4.94 40-yard, 31.5 vertical, 115 broad, 7.70 3-cone, 4.44 20-yard shuttle, 31 reps

 

Spriggs actually was a 2nd round pick. Add to that a lot of bad tape on Edwards this year. I have Edwards going in the 5th round, and that's about what NFL.com has him graded as. The only reason he has a chance to go higher than the 5th is because this is a weak draft class for OTs, but I'd bet that he isn't drafted until day 3.

 

 

Well, maybe I should have said Edwards WAS a guy who had a chance to be a 2nd round pick. He's been hyped as a potential future 1st rounder for the last couple years at Wisconsin. As I said, I never saw that type of talent from him, but I was just responding to why Edwards would have opted to go pro.

 

As for Spriggs, his combine results were an aberration. Now quite on par with a guy like Lane Johnson, but he was a unique athlete for a tackle, but his lower body strength was always a question. I'd hoped he'd have developed by now. Hopefully this year things will click for him. We can't afford to trade up in the 2nd and miss on guys as badly as we've missed on Spriggs thus far.
