LB Tremaine Edmunds will have #Hokies coach Justin Fuente and defensive coordinator Bud Foster in attendance to support him. Edmunds is expected by most draft gurus to be an early-to-mid first round pick. https://t.co/JfSF9uuNLe— Norm Wood (@normwood) April 5, 2018
If he goes high having Bud and Fuente there is a huge exposure help.

Yay!
I'm betting more on the "early" draft pick. Very early.
Leg because omg I hope you're right
This is great!
This is great.
I hope he gets picked early, but just keep a good check on expectations and emotions come draft day
Any thoughtful guesses as to where he goes? I don't follow the nfl much, but I see the Ravens are in the middle of the draft and might have lb needs. Same with the redskins. The raiders used to love amazing measurables ... not sure if they still do or not. I suppose I'm guessing he goes to an 'R'-rated team, but wondering what more knowledgeable minds have to say.
Best bets: Colts @ 6, Bears @ 8, 49ers @ 9, Raiders @ 10
Top-10 guys, PPT
I think Buffalo is going to trade up to 6 and take whatever top QB remains not named Mayfield.
Bears probably gonna go OL
Niners'll take a DB
Raiders too.
Edmunds is going 4th to Cleveland.
It doesn't seem like there will be a top QB not named Mayfield left at #6. The hype train is off the tracks for the QB prospects this year (including for a guy who struggled to complete passes in the MWC).
With the 10th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft the Oakland Raiders Select Future All Pro Hall of Famer LB TREMAINE EDMUNDS from Virginia Tech
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAIDAS
Las Vegas Raiders.
Soon, getting out of that liberal cesspool of Oakland soon!
Probably would've been ok just sticking with cesspool.
And location. Otherwise I think Detroit or NJ.
One of my friends even called Baltimore a cesspool.
You've never seen a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
(iPhone auto suggested every word after more. Cool.)
Outside of the Inner Harbor, I agree. City is on life support.
I just don't understand why you think saying this might be a good idea. That's all.
I'd like to see him get overlooked until the Panthers pick at 24. Tremaine and Luke could team up to form the newest edition of Deathbackers.
Lots of teams would swoop him up if he somehow falls past the Raiders at 10. I don't think he'll be on the board at 11.
While I would love that as a Panthers fan... I don't see him getting anywhere near 24 and I also don't see the Panthers being the ones to take him if he did. While they have never shied from taking what they felt was the best available player regardless of position, I can't see them going linebacker early this year.
Holding out hope we grab a Hokie DB, Teller, or Cam Phillips later on though. We could use talent at any of those spots.
Panthers have a lot of needs. Linebacker isn't one of them.
When was the last time we had someone invited to the draft? I think Kyle Fuller in 2014 was the last guy we had go in the first round. Was he invited?
Was DW invited?
DW was before Fuller and, if I remember correctly, was a surprise pick at 32 so I doubt he would have been invited.
Yep. Just barely edged out Lamar Miller to nab that 1st round select spot.
Ryan Williams was invited and that backfired when he wasn't picked until Round 2.
Wasn't there a recent UVA player invited that didn't get picked until the third round?
Morgan Moses. I believe the same guy James Gayle "hit with that student stutter step for the sack".
James Gayle's twitter game is hall of fame worthy.
It is nice exposure for the coaches as well. Now I hope he goes early and relaxes. Hopefully Bud and Fu will keep his feet on the ground and composed.
Frank recruited all of the Edmunds bros. Would be cool if Frank were also invited.
Who did Kyle have at the draft? I don't remember seeing Bud or Frank.
I think I remember seeing his brothers + Momma and Papa Fuller at his table.
Let's be honest the Fuller family filled the table no chairs left for coaches.
Mel Kipers mock 4.0 had Tremaine going to the Bills @ 12, I have seen a few mocks that have Terrell going in the 40's
I hope he doesn't go to the bills, after what they did to Tyrod I hope that no hokie gets drafted by that terrible organization. I wouldn't mind him going to the Panthers but that's a little homer bias haha
