The Good: You know what you’re getting – and that’s a good thing in a reliable, Wisconsin offensive lineman sort of way. His technique and style are flawless – there’s almost no work needed to get him ready for the next level – and he’ll be one step ahead of everyone as a quarterback for the line.
He might not have the athleticism of Michigan’s Cesar Ruiz, and he might not be quite the rock that LSU’s Lloyd Cushenberry is, but there’s almost no bust potential with the ability to step in right away and be no-worry starter for the next ten years.
However …
Thank you Wisconsin for all the great memories and letting me fulfill my lifelong dream of being a Badger. I look forward to competing at the highest level. The NFL has always been my biggest dream and I can’t thank enough all the people that helped me along the way. #GodisGood pic.twitter.com/jTsU9k2ON1

The Not-So-Good: He’s not the shot for the stars. He’s bulkier than Ruiz and moves better than Cushenberry, but those two have All-Pro upside if everything works out. Biadasz has a hard ceiling to how good he can be – the NFL raw tools just aren’t quite there athletically – and he’s always going to be more of a cog than an anchor. But …
NFL Draft College Perspective Thought: He’s an elite Wisconsin offensive lineman – hit the standup double. He’ll be there in the mid-to-late second round – and possibly even further – but he’ll be a sound pick without much to argue about. Take him, start him, and forget about dealing with the position for a while.
