The dust hasn't fully settled after the 2023 NFL Draft, which wrapped up on Saturday evening, but it is always exciting to look into the future.
Three players from Wisconsin - Joe Tippmann, Keeanu Benton and Nick Herbig - heard their name called this weekend, a number that should be topped next year.
Following is a way-too-early look at which players from UW's current roster could be drafted in 2024.
Fourth-year left tackle Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson likely has as much NFL upside as any player on Wisconsin's current roster. A future three-year starter this fall, Nelson has the size and athletic ability to play left tackle at the next level. He should be mentioned in the same conversations as Olumuyiwa Fashanu, Joe Alt and J.C. Latham as the top tackle prospects in the 2024 draft.
