Top Virginia Tech prospects for the 2013 NFL Draft
1. DE James Gayle (6-4, 268, 4.58)
2. CB Antone Exum (6-0, 224, 4.53)
3. CB Kyle Fuller (6-0, 193, 4.52)
4. QB Logan Thomas (6-6, 258, 4.67)
There are paragraph length write ups for each player listed.
Said of Gayle, "He needs to continue to develop and improve his production, but could end up being the best pass rusher out of Virginia Tech since Hall of Famer Bruce Smith was the No. 1 overall pick in 1985." Lofty praise.
Kyshoen Jarrett is listed among prospects worth watch. If he improves on the season he had last year, he'll move up draft boards quickly and might have to consider leaving early.

For a national football coverage source, I thought that was well-researched and pretty fair assessments of the players. It pointed out, correctly, many of the issues that the players have, as well as their skill sets, and seems to have conclusions drawn from actually watching the players play, instead of just reading what others have written about (which seems to be done more and more by internet writers these days).

Does this remind us of anyone?
I was thinking the same as I was reading.
On an unrelated I think mid 4.5s seem a bit slow for Fuller and Exum. I figured they'd both be mid-high 4.4 guys.
David Wilson was a mid 4.4 guy, think he ran like a 4.44 at the combine. There is no way Exum or Fuller are that speed.
I think he had been timed down in the 4.3s, also I think he's one of those guys who is faster (or at least doesn't loose as much) in pads.
"Other Virginia prospects worth watching"
asshat
Those are all of the Virginia prospects... He just doesn't think anyone from UVA is worth watching
Touché
My favorite part of that entire article: On Jarrett, "he's a rangy, VIOLENT, tackler." Gotta love it when your secondary is known for being violent and physical. That's 3/3 of the guys on there (Fuller, Exum and Jarrett) who were praised for their physical play in the secondary. All hail Torrian Gray.
That was my favorite part too. Wait till Facyson and Greene gets the starting nod. Every receivers will piss in their pants. Boom-Shaka-la!
I love me some Torrian Gray. I hope he never leaves us. Ever.
You remind me of this:
That's essentially how I feel about him.
There's nobody I want to see get drafted more than Jack Tyler. I hope people start to really notice him this year.
I just about had to change my pants after those 2 sweeeet TFLs he had against Rutgers. If you don't remember, check out French's review of that game and look for the bit where he (accurately, IMHO) compares Tyler to a Jedi. Dude's just a football player. I really hope he gets a shot in the NFL.
There's a Jack Tyler hater lurking around.
I'd prefer to think that someone just fat fingered it. Less messy that way.
Hahaha that one got me, I noticed too and thought who could hate on that
