I'm a Hokie too, love me some B. Flowers.

I'm hoping that he stays under the radar at the combine. Early projections have him at 2nd rnd. at best. If he were to be there or to drop to 3rd he would be a steal. He could contribute immediately as a nickel, then start next year.

Underclassmen can be somewhat of a gamble in that they may not be ready for all the challenges they face, but on the upside if you draft one in the 2nd w/that much potential, you're really getting a 1st round guy a year early. If he stayed at VT & remained healthy, he'd definitely be a 1st rounder next year, if not top 10-15 pick.
