Wisconsin's 15 spring practices are in the books, which means it's time to take a look back at what we learned at each position group and see what the Badgers still need to work out before they kick off their 2017 season against Utah State on Friday, Sep. 1.

Our look back at Wisconsin's offensive line is included below.

The spring started off with a bang - of sorts - when the Badgers named David Edwards as their projected starter at left tackle before their first offseason practice. The timing was more surprising than the move itself, since most program watchers expected to watch a position battle play out after Ryan Ramczyk left UW a year early for the NFL Draft. But Edwards took big steps forward during his redshirt freshman season while playing at right tackle, and his overall athleticism made a switch over to left tackle worth exploring at the least.

Edwards wasn't the only offensive lineman to make a splash during camp, though, because redshirt freshman Tyler Biadasz turned heads all over the place during the spring while working with the first team at center. The Badgers were able to redshirt Biadasz in 2016, but he could have played if they needed him to, and now he appears to be pushing for playing time on the first team. Biadasz was the first-team center for what seemed like the majority of the spring, which allowed the Badgers the bump Michael Deiter over to left guard, and eventually to left tackle after Edwards missed the last few practices of the spring with an ankle injury. It's put the Badgers in an interesting spot, because come fall camp they will have several players who either have starting experience or are pushing for those reps before the start of the season. It seems to be a very deep group, and sorting through it will be a good problem for offensive line coach Joe Rudolph to have this fall.

How Rudolph and head coach Paul Chryst will sort out this position group is one of the most important questions the Badgers will face during fall camp. A lot depends on health, since Jon Dietzen and Jacob Maxwell both missed all of spring camp to rehab nagging injuries, but Biadasz's readiness might be the lynchpin. If the Badgers trust him enough to play him at center, it allows them to move Deiter somewhere else. Deiter could probably play any position on the line, so that would let the coaching staff do some mixing and matching until they can get their best five offensive linemen on the field.

One scenario could look like this: with Biadasz as the first team center, Michael Deiter moves out to left tackle. That allows the Badgers to put David Edwards back on the right side, and play Jon Dietzen and Beau Benschawel at the left and right guard spots, respectively. Of course, that assumes that the Badgers would view left tackle as the spot needing the most help. Deiter's flexibility gives them plenty of options, but it all depends on just how ready Biadasz is.

If Biadasz needs more time by the time August rolls around, then the line would probably look a lot like what we expected it to at the start of spring camp, with Edwards at left tackle, Dietzen and Benschawel at guard, and Deiter at center. Right tackle is the only question mark at that point, after Patrick Kasl got all of the first team reps there this spring while Maxwell sat out. We'll have to wait and see if Kasl improved enough to where he could compete for playing time, or if Maxwell will just slide back in to that starting spot when he's ready to go.
