As the University of Washington Huskies prepare for a successful 2017 football campaign, the 2018 NFL Draft is preparing to harvest another crop of NFL-ready Huskes. But the question is, who?

From the moment the 2017 NFL Draft concluded, and Washington Huskies have stepped into the NFL, The Washington Huskies busily prepare for another year of college football.  So too, prognosticators prepare for another NFL draft.  In fact, there have been the occasional 2018 NFL Mock Draft springing up.

So it’s no surprise that FanSided’s Saturday Blitz followed suit in a 2018 Mock Draft by Jerran Anderson. In his mock, he projects Washington Huskies linebacker Azeem Victor to the Green Bay Packers in 2018.  Not just by any round either, but in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Who Goes In 2018 NFL Draft?

When news reached us, it gave pause.  That 2018 NFL Draft triggered some thoughts. Which University of Washington Huskies might race to the NFL in 2018?

Now it’s not just a matter of maturity, but a matter of football production so outstanding that the nation will notice.

I came up with six prospects:

DT Vita Vea
LB Azeem Victor
QB Jake Browning
RB Myles Gaskin
WR Dante Pettis
OL Andrew Kirkland

There could certainly be more. But from this distance, I expect these six will garner the most interest from prospective NFL Teams. Let’s investigate further:
