2009 NFL Draft Preview

By: Chris Coleman | Lead Analyst and Columnist

The 2009 NFL Draft is coming up this weekend, and this year’s version will be
pretty uneventful for Virginia Tech fans. Tech didn’t have many seniors last
season, so only two Hokies have a legitimate shot to have their names called,
and only one of them will be in the early rounds.

Two Tech players, and one former Tech player, were invited to the NFL Combine
to work out in front of NFL Scouts. Cornerback Macho Harris, defensive end Orion
Martin and running back Branden Ore all made the trip to Indianapolis in hopes
of improving their draft stock.
