Happy NFL Draft Day!
The Washington Huskies have five players who should be drafted this weekend, barring any surprises: wide receiver Denzel Boston, running back Jonah Coleman, cornerbacks Ephesians Prysock and Tacario Davis, and offensive lineman Carver Willis. Defensive lineman Anterio Thompson and edge rusher Zach Durfee could also sneak into the back end of the draft.
Here are our final predictions for where the Huskies in the draft could end up.
Boston appears to be the wide receiver most likely to fall out of the first round, but he had a private workout with the Bills earlier in the pre-draft process. That's been a big signal for the Bills and general manager Brandon Beane historically. Taking Boston after trading a second-round pick for DJ Moore might feel excessive, but Buffalo has not met with many players at other positions of need, and Boston's game complements Moore's the same way Rome Odunze's did with the Chicago Bears.
Seattle needs a running back badly - the depth chart is currently , who is coming off a torn ACL, then free agent signing , and special teamer . Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price has gotten a lot of buzz for the Seahawks at pick No. 32, but general manager John Schneider says they would like to trade out of that pick and restock their current four picks. If Seattle waits a bit for a running back, Coleman will likely come off the board in the third or early fourth round. He'd give the Seahawks a chunk yardage back who would mesh with Charbonnet when the veteran returns.
Five players from the Washington Huskies are expected to be drafted: Denzel Boston, Jonah Coleman, Ephesians Prysock, Tacario Davis, and Carver Willis.
Denzel Boston is predicted to be drafted by the Buffalo Bills, among other potential team selections for the Huskies players.
Yes, defensive lineman Anterio Thompson and edge rusher Zach Durfee could also be drafted, though they are considered less likely.
The players include a wide receiver, running back, cornerbacks, an offensive lineman, a defensive lineman, and an edge rusher.

The 49ers were one of the teams floated at Washington's Pro Day that had a high grade on Prysock, who ran in the 4.4s at 6-foot-3 at the NFL combine in February. Widely mocked as a fourth or fifth-round pick, don't be surprised if the Arizona transfer ends up hearing his name called on Friday night. San Francisco needs to add some depth and length at cornerback - their backups are currently Darrell Luter Jr. and Jack Jones.
Another 4.4 runner at 6-foot-4, Davis was compared to recent Jets signing Nahshon Wright by NFL Network's Lance Zierlein. He could come off the board anywhere between the third and fifth round, depending on how teams square his traits with his injury history. Once talked about as a potential first-round pick, Davis had 28 career pass deflections and 3 interceptions, but missed six games with rib and hamstring injuries during his lone season at Washington.
Willis will likely kick inside in the NFL, as even he acknowledged by gesturing to his frame during his interview at Pro Day. He flew to Atlanta for a 30 visit just after Washington's pro day, and the Falcons need depth behind starters Matthew Bergeron and Chris Lindstrom. Willis could even potentially push starting center Ryan Neuzil for that job after snapping for teams at pro day.
Thompson seemed like a fringe prospect for most of the season, but his testing at Washington's pro day and subsequent interest from the Bears and Green Bay Packers - who are both closer to Thompson's hometown of Madison, Wisconsin - have made it seem like he'll get his name called on Saturday. The Athletic's Dane Brugler has Thompson as a sixth or seventh-round pick, saying that "his upfield quickness, raw strength and special teams impact (three blocked punts in college) are intriguing qualities that can be further developed."
Durfee, who was recently (probably) profiled in ESPN's Prospect X series, is another player who aced his pro day and could be drafted as a result. Going off of the Prospect X article, a team with close connections to Jedd Fisch sent their position coach to work Durfee out on Montlake. That team is likely the Eagles, whose general manager, Howie Roseman, was college roommates with Fisch at Florida. Philadelphia has already taken in Huskies players that Fisch has vouched for before, signing wide receiver Giles Jackson as an undrafted free agent last year.
