Where will current Wisconsin football seniors fit best in the NFL?

The NFL Draft may still be a couple of months away, but there’s no time like the present to dive into projections for the 2016 edition of the NFL Draft. The Wisconsin football team will likely send a few players to the NFL this year, and here we will take a look at which NFL franchises would be good landing spots for current Wisconsin seniors.

We’ve seen Badgers land at the perfect destination in the NFL. Joe Thomas has been the single sign of consistency for an otherwise rocky franchise in the Cleveland Browns, Russell Wilson‘s play style has been the perfect compliment to the power run game in Seattle, and J.J. Watt has, well, let’s be real, J.J. would tear it up on any defense.

This year’s crop of talent from graduating Wisconsin football seniors certainly has the potential to be successful at the next level, but the Badgers heading to the draft need to be in the right systems in order to succeed. That’s true for both sides, as the NFL teams aren’t looking to draft players who don’t fit their schemes.

So here we will take a look at current Badgers players who could be headed to the NFL, and if they get there, where the best place would be to start their career.

We won’t be taking draft positions into account, as this technically isn’t a mock draft. Many of the players we will talk about are probably not going to be drafted anyway, and may find their way onto an NFL roster in free agency following the draft.

This is simply an exercise to determine which NFL franchises will be the best place for former Wisconsin football players to begin their careers as professionals. Badger of Honor staffers will project a strong landing spot, and back up their choices.
