5th round grade from Brugler, though he may have dropped because of injury concerns:


STRENGTHS: Technically sound approach…strikes with placement and pop, bending his knees to leverage the point of attack…adequate first step quickness…works hard to the hole, attacking and driving defenders off the screen…keeps his legs pumping in the run game to create movement…able to burst into blocks on the move when properly squared to his target…keeps busy and owns a finishing attitude…likeable personality and developed into a “great leader,” according to head coach Paul Chryst…started 41 straight games and rarely came off the field (played 94.1% of Wisconsin’s offensive snaps the last three years).

WEAKNESSES: Subpar athlete with below-average redirection skills…stiff midsection, struggling to plant-and-torque defenders on the move…has a tough time latching onto moving targets…lunges and loses balance in space, whiffing on linebackers at the second level…eager with his punch and overextends…struggles to anchor vs. bull rushers and can be rocked backwards by physical nose tackles…had at least four penalties each season…played through a hip injury most of the 2018 season, requiring offseason hip surgery (Spring 2019) and missing spring practices; missed part of the draft process due to an AC scope of his right shoulder (February 2020).

SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Wisconsin, Biadasz was the starting center in head coach Paul Chryst’s pro-style scheme. He started every game with Jonathan Taylor the last three seasons, helping clear the way for one of most productive runners in college football history. A program kid, Biadasz hoped to play defensive line in Madison, but bought into the move to center as a freshman and developed into a technician, playing under his pads and timing his punch. However, his lack of top-level athletic traits and recovery skills showed vs. better opponents (see 2019 Ohio State tape). Overall, Biadasz moves with stiffness and his balance issues will be highlighted vs. NFL-level competition, but he is fundamentally sound with the smarts and toughness to fight for a starting role in an NFL camp – if his medical situation doesn’t interfere.

GRADE: 5th Round
Well that doesn't sound at all impressive. If the coaches can't fix most of his issues, he's practically useless.

They had a 2nd round grade on McGovern, this seems like a value pick to develop for the long run IMO.

We haven’t seen anything from McGovern due to his injury and this pick gives us another option at center. Should be a good training camp battle along with Looney.
