Hokies have Slim Chances in the NFL Draft; Maybe Saturday will Save Us

No excuses. Well, that’s what I’ll stick with for the moment. We haven’t really been covering the NFL Draft run-up. It’s been sort of a glaring blank spot in our article portfolio this year.

The reason for the missing pieces is a distinct lack of any sort of real prospect for the drafting of any Hokies leaving after the 2018 season. The reality is that this is as close to a recruiting disaster as you can get without actually having a major coaching change. Face it, the prospect of being drafted into the NFL is a HUGE factor in the recruiting process; in particular for the four and five star talent necessary to win big games.
