Washington fans were woofing today about 4 Huskies being selected early in the NFL Draft while no Ducks were selected before the 4th round.
Where's Nike U? One asked. All flash and no substance. Coach Petersen really develops players.
Certainly the Huskies deserve credit for a good draft class, one that won a couple of PAC-12 titles.
But the score in Autzen Stadium last fall was Flash 30, Substance 27.
If Mario Cristobal and staff keep recruiting the #1 class in the conference, there will be a lot more early round draft picks coming out of UO in the future. And some conference titles.
Of the top of my head, I'd say Herbert, Dye, Sewell, Throckmorton, Scott, Graham, Thibodeaux and Lenoir are NFL players one day. DJ Johnson has an NFL body. Juwan Johnson. Mycah Pittman? Mykael Wright? Who else?
Getting players drafted early is a recruiting selling point, but it's not the only one.
