Fourteen days remain before the start of the 2024 NFL draft in Detroit, Michigan.
The coverage begins with the first round on Thursday, April 25. It continues with the second and third rounds on Friday, April 26. Rounds 4-7 are on Saturday, April 27.
Wisconsin football fans can usually first tune into the action on Friday night: A former Badger has not been a first-round selection since Ryan Ramczyk was selected by the New Orleans Saints in 2017. The program has continued to send stars to the league, including running back Jonathan Taylor, center Joe Tippmann and linebackers T.J. Watt, Leo Chenal, T.J. Edwards and Jack Sanborn. They are seldom selected in the first round, with some even going as undrafted free agents.

As the draft quickly approaches, here is The Athletic’s Dane Brugler’s updated projection for every former Wisconsin Badger.
