Round 3, Pick 96 – Wisconsin IOL Tyler Biadasz

Talk about differing opinions on a prospect, Wisconsin center Tyler Biadasz lands all over big boards and nobody seems to be in full agreement on where he’ll be drafted. He had a stellar career with the Wisconsin Badgers but certain things that show up on tape and an injury history have soured quite a few analysts on his hype. In fact, he was not a participant at the NFL Combine due to the injuries he had to his hip and his shoulder.

Can Biadasz put those injuries behind him and return to the level of play that made him a draft darling? Is he worth a late third-round pick when other players who might be more durable are still waiting to hear their name called? I think if the kid can stay healthy, he can be a steal at pick 96, but of course every year there are those players who get the asterisk next to their name.

Regardless, the Chiefs need help in the interior of the offensive line and Biadasz has been instrumental in the Wisconsin rushing attack from his center spot. There are things to fix in his game but production speaks for itself sometimes. He isn’t ready to step in as a day-one starter but with a healthy body and time to adapt, he could become a solid starter for a perennial Super Bowl contender.
