Joe Thomas, the All-American offensive tackle for the Badgers, is being projected as a # 2 or #3 pick for the 2007 draft. Draft guru Mel Kiper has Thomas scheduled to go #2, behind Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn.
Thomas, who injured his knee in last year's Capital One Bowl, appears to have recovered and be in great shape. It was speculated before the injury that he may have entered the draft early, so I guess in some ways that knee injury was the best thing that happened for Badger fans.
Thomas actually played both ways in the Capital One Bowl as the Badgers defense was beyond thin by that part of the season. I wrote about Thomas' turn as an Ironman here and here.
Looks like things are looking good for the upcoming Badger Football season.
