Man you love to see all this positivity around Travis. Everyone with even a passing knowledge of football could see he had so much potential. He put in the work over the last couple seasons and it's paying off big time. Man's about to get paid.

-> Until the draft, which will be April 28-30 in Las Vegas, Jones plans to spend time in New Jersey training with another former UConn defensive tackle, Foley Fatukasi of the New York Jets. <-

That's Foley Fatukasi of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tell Neill Ostrout (I should have corrected his direct quote but let it go).

Pro Day has a way of laser focusing your training. Omar Fortt is working like crazy at the TEST facility— and it shows! Notice the difference?

Ok, but why not do that when you are actually playing? Hopefully that will change.

I’m told that Omar Fortt has been invited to the NY Jets local prospects day next week.

Yahoo Sports mock draft from a few days ago had Jones going to TB and compared him to Suh and how he could fill his role considering he's still unsigned. I really am excited for draft day!

If Ryan goes undrafted, he could be a priority FA for one of the teams he has visited. Teams often use a few of the 30 visits they are allowed to start a relationship with guys they think might be available after round seven. There's no doubt, he will end up in an NFL camp. He will get his shot.

“UConn LB/S Omar Fortt, who checked a lot of boxes at his pro day visited the Jets for his on site “evaluation”. Per source on the scene, Omar had a fantastic workout for the Jets.”

All our Huskies are working hard. Travis looks like a 1st round choice and Ryan is working up the board. Omar is showing his best stuff.. Rooting for all our Huskies to either get a call on draft weekend or be priority free agents. It’s time to shine!

Ric has his big board out. Pretty easy to use. If anything enjoy the 40 times, 20 times, hand sizes etc all in one concise sheet.

Notables:
Has Travis Jones at the #2 DT in the draft with a round 1 grade.
Has Ryan Van Demark as the #14th LT with a 7th round grade.
Has Omar Fortt as the #14 Will LB with a free agent grade.
Has Brian Keating as the #9 LS, all the LS are graded as free agent signings
Has Kevin Mensah as the #64 RB. For perspective he has 22 RBs in round 1-7.


Also, I happen to listen to Ric on Giants radio today...you can listen to the interview via their podcast. I thought it was interesting that he noted Julius Chestnut at Sacred Heart as a potential sleeper - late round/FA choice.

He also has Husky alum Luke Magliozzi as #15 Punter.
