Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Two Huskies projected to be first round picks in 2015

Although I think this list is bullshit once I read Kevin Hogan listed as the 10th best prospect.

    I also will say right now no fucking way Kasen is a first round pick. Sorry but slow WR's with a major injury in their career don't go in the first round.

    I think Kasen can be a fine WR in the NFL but no way would I want my team wasting a first round pick on him.

    I feel like Kikaha and Shelton are much likelier to go in the first than those two.

    Hogan would be lucky to go in the 5th round IMO, the fuck is that author smoking?

    I'd bet any amount of money that Hogan won't be a first round pick.

    With QB's you never know but I'll agree with you on this one. I think Shaq is going to blow up and the Sark fans will take credit for him. However, I'll give the credit to Petersen.

    Our defense should be very good this year. Shelton, Shaq, Kikaha, and Peters are guys who should be as good as any in the conference at their respective positions. All these guys will be high draft picks. The best prospect and an almost certain first round pick is Peters.

    Edit- Note from Jude on Kikaha:

    A great nugget from ESPN.com’s KC Joyer, who noted that Kikaha’s 45 combined quarterback hurries and knockdowns last season, according to Stats LLC, tied him with Pitt’s Aaron Donald — a first-round pick by the Rams last week — and “and ahead of such first-round pass-rushing luminaries as Anthony Barr (27), Dee Ford (28) and Marcus Smith (37). A showing of equal or near equal impact of this caliber would help vault Kikaha into certain first-round consideration despite his injury history.”

    Disagree. Eklund has talked to scouts and GM's who said he won't be. I trust Eklund's opinion over yours. Sure he can't reveal who his sources are and he's wrong 81% of the time but I still trust his opinion over yours.

    I expected to see Peters when I opened the link. For the second player I wasn't sure, I guess I can buy Shaq if he improves. No way Kasen is a 1st round pick. Kikaha without the injury history, if he has another good season, would have been a 1st rounder as well I think.

    Kikaha might be my favorite player. Love his motor.
