Instead of making a thread about each I decided to make one big Huskies thread.
Shaq Thompson looks like a stud. He's a true football player. Line him up anywhere and he's going to do some good things. Some prefer him at RB, others have suggested moving him to safety in the form of playing that Polumalu style LB/Safety hybrid. IMO, he would be an ideal fit at OTTO linebacker. He's currently projected as a mid to late first round prospect.
Kikaha was made for the LEO position and is almost the exact same size as Cris Clemons. He already has some pass rushing skills and wins the one on one matchups when called upon. He had some injury issues in the past, twice tearing his ACL, but was fully healthy this year leading the team with 13 sacks. Nonetheless the injuries will be a red flag heading into the offseason evaluations. He's currently projected as a mid-late 2nd to early 3rd round.
Peters is an interesting case being that he was being touted as a first round CB and potentially the first CB off the board. He has the size and length that Bradley wants in his scheme and can play man coverage like nobody's business. He has major character issues though, as he was suspended for reportedly getting into it with his coach, was reinstated, then in in a separate incident he reportedly tried to choke his coach and was sequentially kicked off the team. He's being projected as high as the 2nd round and could fall all the way to the 4th or lower.
What are your opinions of these 3?
