The first round of the NFL Draft came and went on Thursday evening with zero Wisconsin Badgers selected. While there was certainly something to talk about for Wisconsin football fans due to the Green Bay Packers interesting choices, the rest of us, foolishly, stayed up too late in hopes of seeing a Badger drafted.
On Friday night, however, the first Wisconsin players were taken. Running back Jonathan Taylor was selected by the Indianapolis Colts with the No. 41 pick in the second round. Indy traded up with the Browns to get their man, one of the most productive running backs in NCAA history.
