With the NFL Draft just days away, the final mock drafts are rolling in, offering a last glimpse at where prospects might land. In a comprehensive seven-round projection from The Athletic's respected analyst Dane Brugler, two Washington Huskies have made a notable late-round appearance, giving fans new names to watch as the event unfolds in Pittsburgh.

Brugler projects offensive lineman Carver Willis to the Atlanta Falcons with the 215th overall pick in the seventh round. The Kansas State transfer, who visited Atlanta in March, showcased impressive versatility during the pre-draft process, taking reps at guard and center at his Pro Day and the Senior Bowl. While he may not stick at tackle, his flexibility could be a perfect fit for an Atlanta line looking to replace retired UW star Kaleb McGary. It would also reunite him with former Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr., offering a chance to protect his old teammate. "Really, really impressed by the organization and the coaching staff," Willis said of his Falcons visit on the Locked On Huskies podcast.

In a first-time inclusion for Brugler's mock, defensive tackle Anterio Thompson is projected to join the Chicago Bears with pick No. 241. Thompson's stock has risen lately, with pre-draft visits to the Bears, Green Bay Packers, and Seattle Seahawks. As Chicago seeks to bolster its defensive line depth, Thompson's athletic profile—honed during a season at Washington where he recorded 30 tackles and 1.5 sacks—makes him an intriguing developmental piece for the interior rotation.

While other Huskies like Tacario Davis and Jonah Coleman came off the board earlier in the projection, the late-round spotlight on Willis and Thompson highlights the depth of talent emerging from Montlake as draft weekend approaches.
