Tyler Biadasz is as good as it gets on the interior. He was a big part of the Badgers getting Jonathan Taylor going early in this game. Starting at center for the Badgers the last two seasons, Biadasz could potentially play guard at the NFL level as well.
Todd McShay describes Biadasz as a “wall” blocker, saying he only struggles against true power rushers. However, he seals off blocks at an elite level on most occasions.
If that’s the case, guard might serve him well, especially because he gets to the second level efficiently. The Bears have been pretty strong in pass protection throughout 2019, but they have struggled to open run lanes for David Montgomery and company.
Right now, Biadasz is likely a later first round pick and could potentially slip to the second round. Knowing the Bears have two second-round picks, they may have a shot at him depending on how the pre-draft process goes.
