I hope he doesn't go to the Jets. Keep him away from that train wreck.

I hate the Patriots, but I'd love to see what they'd do with David Wilson.

Unfortunately, I'm sure the Bengals 'scouting department' doesn't even know who David Wilson is

Well they made a wise choice with Andy Dalton who I think a few teams overlooked and figured him as a career back up so maybe things are looking up for them. I kind of feel like Cincy is where he'll end up because I think they're cutting ties with Cedric Benson

Read on HD's ACC Blog that Danny Coale is ranked in the Top 5 of Ball Skills at the Combine. She links to a story you have to pay for (what a bitch!) Anyway, looks like our boy has gone from "sleeper" to "can't miss, look at me now" status in about a month.

He's ranked #4 as far as Ball Skills and #1 in the Competitive/Toughness category.

Coale's excellent OT catch in the Sugar Bowl really upped his rep among the NFL scouts. They know that idiot replay ref blew the call.

 

[sparko]

no doubt

that (no) catch opened people's eyes. you can't question the heart and there aren't bunches of nfl receivers who make that catch.

possibly the best catch ever ... and it wasn't a catch according to that pac-12 ass-hat

Good chance they go with Lamar Miller though

Unfortunately, I think you're right.

We'll see what happens though. Hopefully DW blows up the combine

#1? They must have found out Chuck Norris wears Danny Coale pajamas.

 

[NickVT10]

They probably didn't know where else to categorize "Always open" so they ranked it with that.

Four Hokies hope to improve NFL stock at combine | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com

NFLDraftScout.com has Hosley as the No. 10 cornerback in the draft, projecting him to go in the second or third round. ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay questioned Hosley's size (5-10, 172) and physicality against the run, putting him as a potential third- or fourth-round pick.

"I think that he's just a few notches away from being where he needs to be..." McShay said. "And I thought he could easily use another year at Virginia Tech."

 

[wildturkey]

He's the no. 10 CB but he might be a 2nd round pick? See, that's what irks me about draft experts. Are teams really going to draft 10 CBs in the first two rounds?

 

[m477hokie]

On what team would David Wilson have the most fantasy value? I'm desperate to draft him next year lol.

Late Round 2/Early Round 3 sounds about right based on recent draft trends (2005-2011) if he is the 10th best CB. I'd say at least half of the 1st and 2nd round CB's drafted during this span have been busts.

CB's taken in Rd1 & Rd2
2005 Draft: 5 - 7
2006 Draft: 4 - 5
2007 Draft: 3 - 3
2008 Draft: 5 - 5
2009 Draft: 2 - 4
2010 Draft: 5 - 2
2011 Draft: 3 - 4

Will Montgomery just got a four year deal withthe Redskins!

Damn straight! He's about the only good thing on that line...

 

[hokiecheme11]

Here's to hoping Danny and Jarrett have good showings at the combine tomorrow! (I assume DW will impress). Danny put up 12 reps on the bench today (225 lbs) and Jarrett put up 11. Five WRs put up 20 or more fwiw

 

[HoHumHokie]

That is a lot lower than I expected from these guys. Chris Givens from Wake put up 19 reps.
