With the 2009 NFL Draft just days away, I thought we’d run through a quick breakdown to get everyone up to speed. It’s a quick glance at positions the Packers will look to fill, a rundown of the top 9 overall, and which WI Badgers to watch for...
Video editing: Colin White.
Here’s a follow-up on the rest of the Badgers as well:
Garrett Graham- 6’4” 242lb. I would say he’s top 5 out of the tight ends in his draft class… expect him to go in the 2nd round.
Travis Beckum- 6’3” 239lb. Another good WI tight end, although he’s coming off a leg injury, expect him to go in the 2nd or 3rd round.
Andy Kemp- 6’5” 313lb. I would say he’s top 10 out of the offensive guards. Expect him to go in round 5 or 6.
Jonathan Casillas- 6’1” 228lb. Even though he is also coming off a knee injury, he is a top 15 outside line backer. Expect round 4 or 5.
DeAndre Levy- 6’2” 236lb. Another outside line backer, but expect him to go in the 6th or 7th.
Chris Pressley (FB), Elijah Hodge (ILB), and Jason Chapman (DT) are all eligible but unlikely to get picked up in the draft.
