Bryant – R3
Harris – R4
M. Bryant – R7
Ahmed – PFA
Fuller – PFA
Adams – PFA

Adams is not going undrafted. That’s ludicrous. Injuries and all, he was still 1st-team all-conference last season at a premium position. He’ll get drafted no later than the 3rd round. I’d draft him, redshirt him his rookie season to rebuild his strength, and then his 2nd year in the league he’ll be a 1st-round caliber LT again.

Ahmed will get drafted in the 6th or 7th round. Some team will find a way to best utilize his talent.

In what world is Harris worthy of a 4th round pick? He’s a 7th rounder or UDFA. Joey Hunt 2.0 and a career back up if he manages to make a roster.

I’d be surprised if Bryant didn’t go in the 2nd round. He’s a match up problem who will further refine his route running in the league. He’s got Travis Kelce potential. 3rd round for him isn’t impossible, but he’d be a steal there.

I agree Fuller won’t get drafted.

I see Harris as a 4-5th round pick. He has plenty of fans among the pundits.

Joey hunt was like 277lbs coming out

Hunt was 295 coming out of college and less fat than sloppy looking Harris. He was graded as an UDFA before the draft and was only drafted in the 6th round because John Schneider is an idiot and obsessed with finding short guys who can play to make himself feel better about being short. How he’s still on the team is laughable. When Britt got hurt last season and they put Hunt in at Center, he got absolutely rag dolled and was a total liability. He doesn’t belong in the league and Harris is probably in the same boat.

No surprise but you were wrong about everything.

Really surprised on Hunter.

Must be serious serious doubts about his ability to stay healthy.

What factor did not having a pro day have on the utter disaster this draft was for the Washington program?

Fuck off bitch. You only point out the times I’m wrong. You can pretend you’re not shocked Adams and Bryant didn’t get drafted, but you’d be lying. Ability wise those guys can play. Must have been some medical concerns that I am unaware of. Adams still had some of the lightest feet in the draft and was 1st-team all-conference. Bryant was projected as high as the 1st round before the underwear Olympics and medical evaluations. His actually route running at the combine and hands looked great. But fuck actual football shit apparently. Too bad for him. Shannon Sharpe went undrafted as well due to his lack of size. Same old shit, just a different year. NFL GM’s are fucking retarded good ole boys who got their jobs because of nepotism. Hunter will ball out and make them all look stupid.

Wouldn’t have enough time in the day to point out all the times you are wrong … HB in Round 2 … LOL

He’s easily a second round talent. Outside of a few drops that only popped up when “Mr. Fastball all the time” Jacob Eason showed up, dude is a beast. It’s terrible how fast some so-called Husky fans are to shit on their own when he falls out of the draft. The same people shitting on him were pounding the table for him to be targeted more when he was here. He’s not a traditional TE, but if you design a role for him in your offense out of the slot, he has 2nd round value because he’s a tough cover. Looking forward to watching him ball out and proving me right as usual. Like I said, Shannon Sharpe was undersized and undrafted as well.

But don’t make me remind you where you thought Myles Gaskin would get drafted…

Aaron Hernandez: 6’2 245, 4.75 40 yard dash

Hunter Bryant: 6’2 248, 4.78 40 yard dash

Hernandez was a projected 2nd round pick if it wasn’t for character concerns.

This is purely a medical reason as to why Bryant fell out of the draft. He’s a 2nd round talent all day.

Clean it up guys. This isnt a biker bar.

By all means, please find where I said that Gaskin would be a high round pick. I was on board of him not leaving after his junior year because he wasn’t going to be drafted high and that there was minimal risk to coming back and lots to gain in terms of experiences, being a Husky Legend, etc. He never really had the size/speed combination to be anything more than a bottom of the roster RB unfortunately in the NFL.

Hunter has a lot of sloppiness in his game (runs routes, hands can be hit or miss) and combined with his injury history it’s a bit of an issue. Unfortunately because of those injuries he’s only put about 2 years of film on tape. Sitting out the bowl game I can’t imagine helped him as well.

I’m a little surprised that he wasn’t drafted, but not at all surprised that he wasn’t drafted in the first 2 days.

LOL Ballz went full doog

Facts are we overrate our guys and I think that led to Hunter/Salvon thinking they could go early. They grow up early hearing great they are. We also cook our 40 times(hand time), then come combine time it’s reality check.

Also the question needs to be asked why is KB still on staff? Looking at his recruiting and developing? Gaskin was a 7th rounder, Salvon undrafted. The guys he’s bringing in are 3 stars or in our backyard.

I want a RB that NY6 bowl teams fear not who the Cougs fear. This upcoming year if Newton is our starting RB god help us. He’s okay but as a starting back on a Pac-12 team as a redshirt soph you are in trouble.

You had Gaskin going in the 3rd round. I remember it clearly. Don’t need to look it up for you on HH. Not going to waste my time.

Back in October a Duck fan told me Eason be lucky to be a third round pick. I mocked him. This week he retweeted that tweet. You know what I said? Congrats on being right you deserve that flex, I was wrong.

My point is just take the L instead of always doubling down every single time.

Time will tell if we overrated them or not. There are plenty of undrafted guys who go on to prove they not only should have been drafted, but should have been drafted on day 1 or 2. Bryant will continue to get coached up and refine his sloppy route running. His hands are not a problem. He caught Browning’s balls easily. Eason threw a hard ball with no touch on it at UW. Real NFL QB’s throw passes that get there with enough velocity but are still easy to catch and the balls are bigger as well.

True Sophomore Trey Adams remains one the best offensive lineman UW has ever had as a 2nd-team All-American. The injuries set him back for sure but the talent he once had is still there. He’ll continue to work on his body and get stronger. These guys now have nothing but football and their bodies to work on and that will allow them to progress faster. Gotta think they now have a massive chip on their shoulder.

When Salvon declared most here even those big on him like me thought it was a bad move. After he bombed his combined it was very predictable he’d go undrafted.

Fact Salvon, D-Wash and Gaskin never improved under KB needs to be questioned. Luckily Gaskin came in really good for a college player so didn’t matter.

Because you said something means it is true … whatever dude

Adams not going is not a surprise at all. He had major back issues and for a lineman thats probably the worst injury you can have.

HB is talented from size speed perspective but he runs very poor routes and is an easy cover. I’m a little surprised he didn’t go somewhere in the 5-7 round range but health is also a concern for him.

Ahmed lost any chance he had of being drafted when he ran a slow 40 time. He has put very little on tape and looked hesitant running the ball quite often because of the offense we put him in. When he flashed it looked very good but there wasn’t enough consistency to overcome a slow 40 time considering he is a small fast guy. When small fast guys run slow at the combine they dont get drafted end of story.

Eason having character issues is laughable to me. Again another guy that suffered from playing in the worst offensive scheme in the history of football. All his bad plays are a result of that. But he has no character issues. He might not be a film room junkie but no less so than tua or herbert. Colts got a steal. He’s going to have a similar trajectory as Tom Brady.
