Huskies in the 2018 NFL draft.

[Palatine]

The NFL draft starts next Thursday and runs through Saturday.

Foley Fatukasi seems to be a consensus 4th round pick and is a virtual lock to be taken by someone. Beware, the draft always surprises, good and bad. He stands to be the 18th UConn player drafted this decade. Look here. List of Connecticut Huskies in the NFL Draft - Wikipedia

However, more than few Huskies have made NFL rosters as undrafted free agents including Andrew Adams and Nick Williams. Many more have been in camps. A few should make camps this year. Summers, Joseph, Ormsby and Arkell Newsome had pro days that may have draw some interest. There will be a slew of signing on Saturday and Sunday.

It's always interesting.

I love seeing non-power football schools getting their players drafted in later rounds and do amazing in their careers or even better than a lot of the 1st round, hyped-up, power school players.

Huskies!!!!

Would love to sit down with FF and hear what he thought of his years under Diaco (from initial reaction to hiring to when Diaco left) and then his final year trying to do his best in a 3-3-5 alignment that was short on what makes that defense work (disguise and aggression).
Kid seemed to work hard, hope it works out well for him and he gets a chance with a good organization.

I could see someone taking a late round flyer on Summers. The athleticism and ball skills are certainly there. But my bet would be everyone besides Foley go undrafted.

Doesn’t have NFL DB speed.

To that end, did he run a 40 at the UConn pro day? I'm too lazy to look back.

He played safety in the Senior Bowl. His speed is okay for a safety. He needs to shine on special teams in camp.

True, I was thinking of NFL CB speed. At safety, I would question his tackling but I guess I need to give the kid a break.

Doesnt mean much, but the dudes over at big blue review have Fatusaki as worthy of a fourth round pick on their big board.

Fourth round seems to be where he is frequently mentioned.
