2012 drafted Badgers

Russell moves on to Seattle. I'm really happy for the guy. He had a lot of great plays, but I think my favorite was the bomb to Abby in the endzone against MSU. Good luck to you Russel! (It's going to be interesting to see him push Matt Flynn during camp)

Zeitler off to the Falcons! (Dude has some serious jaw line going here. I loved hearing stories about this guy from Bielema. I kind of wanted him to be a Packer with all that attitude of his.)

Petey Konz to the Bengals, and I think a whole bunch of teams made a mistake letting him pass, but I guess they had other needs. We're going to miss seeing #66 under center.

Toon to the Saints! I think this is going to be really good for him. He's a big receiver that Brees can find in the redzone. Unbelievable. I'm really looking forward to seeing him take his game to the next level. I think he will come into camp this fall healthier than he's ever been, too. I think he was a steal for teams needing a tall WR with hands and route running expertise....which is damn near everybody. Good call for the Saints.

Ewing just went to the Falcons in the fifth. I'm pretty surprised, as I didn't expect him to get drafted.

 

[ForkEmBucky]

I felt like he was he a pretty sure late round draft choice, like a lot of fullbacks. He's got what NFL teams want from a FB. Power, hands, good lead blocking skills, good ball carrier, great special teams play. He's a bulwark sort of player. But I wouldn't have been surprised to see him going as an undrafted free agent either, Smart, so I know where you're coming from.

Toon was a good pickup for the Saints. Wilson, we'll see - it's intriguing.

If Flynn is as good as I think he can be....Wilson will not push him much, there is a large gap between the 2 of them

I agree, very intriguing.

Yea, it's always wait and see. You may be right about Flynn. He definitely showed something last season.

Not to forget Brad Nortman, now a Carolina Panther. Who will forget his punt fake @ Iowa? Not me.

Free Agent Signings are rolling in. I'm trying to gather up what the twitter account has been posting.

Jake Byrne to New Orleans
Kyle Wojta to Chicago
Antonio Fenelus to Indianapolis
Louis Nzegwu to New Orleans
Patrick Butrym to San Francisco
Aaron Henry to Oakland(guess he can say hi to his pal Patrick during fan brawls)

I think that's it. No. Damnit. I'm missing somebody, aren't I....

Anyway. Kind of cool for Toon, Byrne, and Nzegwu to all be at camp together again.

It is actually hard to watch these guys leave. They brought a lot of heart to the program.

If I had the opportunity, I think I would thank these seniors for the way they celebrated together...and for giving all us Badger fans something to celebrate about. GREAT bunch of guys.
