I think it's reasonable to expect the following players to be ready to contribute and contribute at a high level from the start of the season, or close to it:
1. McDuffie. Corners usually transition quickly, especially ones who have been well-coached in college. Washington has been turning out high-level, polished CBs like crazy. He's a very polished player who has always been advanced and played a lot as a true freshman at UW.
2. Kinnard. If he wins the RT job, it's a great sign, considering that Wylie is back and was very solid over there last year.
3. Karlaftis. He's a physically mature player with high intelligence, work ethic, and motor.
The rest of the rookies are guys who will be asked to fit into roles but who DO have veteran depth in front of them: Moore. Cook will likely be a subpackage guy to start (with fewer responsibilities/packages).
Shoot, even McDuffie has some veteran CBs in front of him who have played at high levels for KC in Fenton and Sneed (assuming Fenton is healthy).
