Polk, Jmac, or both?

I think it also depends on when and how well McMillan comes back. If he comes back in a few weeks and isn't super productive does he need another year to prove he's an NFL WR? I love his game but he's small and slight. Gotta remember because of Covid he's actually been in college now since 2020.

Polk to me even with what he's doing seems like a possibility if he can get a good NIL and show what he can do as a #1 option.

If I'm an NFL scout, I'm not recommending my team draft McMillan until later rounds. I would want to see him come back and be productive first. Otherwise, red flags are flying everywhere.

Other than the injury, what red flags? Other than a drop against Tulsa, he was dominating before he was injured. He was good last year and looked improved this year.
 
Old school you always go pro. Williams shouldn't have returned to USC because he loses luster every week

New school NIL let's you get paid and then paid again. The players are having fun which you should in college

As others have pointed out next year might not be as fun or productive

Nice problem to have but fuck next year

The future is now

This doog wants sustained success

10 wins is the expectation at DeBoner's Warshington

@whatshouldicareabout nailed it I think. Come back, get paid, boost draft stock

Trice should stay another year at this rate, too.

He plays phyiscal but has a slight frame IMO

In the NFL he might go the way of Ross and Pettis if he doesnt bulk up a bit more

When all 3 together, not sure anyone can stop this offense. When 3 on the field creates opportunities for other dude that are solid like the TE
 
Me thinks one if not both of these guys are coming back next year do to our elite NIL for proven assets.

What thinks you?

I think both are back[/b][/i]. It's a deep draft class for WR this year, and some website that ranks kids says they're 14th and 15th

They'll move up from the mid-rounds in 2024 to the early rounds in 2025

Why did I read that as both are black[/b][/i]?

If I was in their shoes, early 20's and have an opportunity to get paid very well playing college ball, I'm staying. The NFL's initial contract would be great but if you STAY and get paid, then tap into the NFL, it's a win-win. The only thing that might stand in the way is a really pathetic QB and injury, but under DeBoner, I would bank on a competent qb

Just look at Seattle's 1st round Smith-Njigba. #21 pick got $7.5m upfront. 2nd round pick got $2m upfront. A 3rd rounder gets about $1m upfront. All have the same $750k base salary year one.

NIL will prevent the 2nd and 3rd rounders from going pro but not the first rounders.

NFL teams don't like players who seem fragile. I'm not saying he is, and I'm not saying he won't be the next Keenan Allen, but I think NFL reps will want to see him play at a high level before the season is over before they recommend investing millions in him.

Seems like Jmac coming back is probable if not likely, unless he gets back on the field soon and has sustained success. Polk is the #1 on most other teams and seems like a 2nd rounder worst case. Would be unreal if he came back but unlikely. The offensive skills positions are stacked and players are going to want to come the UW for the targets, opportunites.
 
Wonder if Rosengarten comes back

I think more than 50% though I don't know shit. I wonder if he can/has desire to play LT or not because that could swing things given the starter next year will almost assuredly be a righty.

He should be back for at least one more year. He was good as a freshman but hasn't taken a huge step. I would be surprised if he suddenly gets a bunch of draft hype.

The question for me is Fautanu. He's probably a day 2 pick, so there is at least a small chance he comes back and tries to work himself into the first round.

One possibility is Fautanu declares, and Rosengarten gets to play left tackle.

Polk is my favorite player
Click to expand...

Polk is a board favorite and rightfully so. He makes big play after big play. I personally underrated him prior to last season and again this offseason.

As far as the tackles go, I don't think either comes back. I suspect NFL grades on them are probably not going to change much with another season. They're both vets with a ton of games on film.

My low budget opinions:

Fautanu is a low/mid round pick because most still believe he's a guard in the NFL. He's playing out of position and doing it well, because he's talented as hell for a college OL, but guards aren't first round picks.

Rosengarten will go a little higher than Fautanu. I know he doesn't get a ton of publicity but he's fucking good as a run and pass blocker and super athletic. When was the last time Penix got hit from behind? Ever? He's the best tackle at UW in a long time imo, better than McGary who has gotten pretty rich in the NFL.
