Six Huskies headed to the NFL

the fuck? How about starting with NOT recruiting a 5'9 guy who runs a 4.9 40?

Parker was solid as a safety for UW, playing in every game from his sophomore year on and 48 games total. He didn't have NFL-quality numbers in college but was a dependable starter at FS at a BCS level, and we'll probably see a drop in production for 2014 (Budda Baker will be a true freshman after all). His stats the last 2 years (the Wilcox years, when the defense actually mattered) at UW were 144 tackles, 14 passes defended, 6 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, 7 TFL and 1 sack.

FWIW, Peters' stats in the same time frame (his freshman and sophomore years) are better: 99 tackles, 25 passes defended, 8 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, 5.5 TFL, 1 sack and a blocked kick. There's a reason why he's rated in the top 5 for CBs for 2016's draft, though he'll probably declare early after this season.

Good enough to help the team go, say, 5-4 in conference play?

 
Go through every 4 star he's brought in and I'm sure we have to have a terrible % at producing them into NFL draft picks.

4* RB Coleman - On roster

Only 2 of his 4*/5* recruits were drafted. His best recruit was 3* Trufant.

To be fair, you figure Thompson and Williams will be drafted this year and, under the development of Petersen, many of his 2013 recruits will end up being drafted.

It's clear that Sark and his staff were amazing developers of talent. Nobody has ever made less with more.

@iDawg‌ refers to him as the anti-Riley, its his deepest insult.
