Two Wisconsin Badgers included in ESPN’s latest seven-round NFL Mock Draft

Two now-former Wisconsin Badgers were included in ESPN’s Matt Miller’s latest seven-round 2024 NFL Mock Draft Wednesday morning.

The two players are no surprise: running back Braelon Allen and offensive lineman Tanor Bortolini.

ESPN projected them to go within 10 picks of each other — Allen No. 101 overall to the Carolina Panthers and Bortolini No. 109 to the Atlanta Falcons. Both were early fourth-round selections, which is in line with most of the current projections.

Also, former Wisconsin and Louisville running back Isaac Guerendo is included as pick No. 157 overall in the fifth round.

Allen, Bortolini and Guerendo were the three former Badgers to receive combine invites and the three who are projected to be selected in the upcoming draft. Inside linebacker Maema Njongmeta, QB Tanner Mordecai and others are likely to be signed as undrafted free agents.

The start of the 2024 NFL Draft is now just 29 days away. It’ll likely be 30 or 31 days until Allen, Bortolini and other former Badgers are selected.
