Welp, Mock Draft season has officially arrived. SI/MMQB has already come out with their second mock for the 2019 NFL Draft...

SI/MMQB Mock Draft 2.0
...along with a first look at 2019 NFL Draft needs for each team...
2019 NFL Draft Team Needs - Part One
2019 NFL Draft Team Needs - Part Two
...and I'm sure other publications are not far behind.
I don't see a lot of Virginia Tech interest at the top end of the 2019 NFL Draft (note: no Hokies were taken in either of the above mocks), but some team mocks are drilling down farther into the draft based on their own perceived needs, and we're starting to see some Hokies coming off the (mock) boards:
ATL 2019 Mock
Round 5, 139th overall - Trevon Hill, DE, Virginia Tech
The theme of adding more punch to the defensive line continues. Hill had a sour end to his Virginia Tech career with his dismissal back in September, but don't let that distract you from his ability to get after the quarterback as a weakside defensive end. Hill shows plenty of bend around the edge and his speed is enough to keep offenses on their toes when he's lined up on third down. Hill's burst at the snap is dangerous, and his addition to the Falcons roster along with Jackson adds length and quickness that the Falcons desperately need.
So, well, there it is. Any other Hokies going in mock drafts? Let us know in the comments below.
