The 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay begins on Thursday night with the first round. The second and third rounds will be on Friday with round four through seven on Saturday. This year is expected to be a busy one for former Virginia Tech players when the weekend all said and done.
Since the Hokies, who are hoping to hear their names called played their last game for Tech, some have moved up some teams' draft boards and impressed in either the Senior Bowl or the NFL Combine. The final mock drafts are being published one has a bright outlook for former Hokies this upcoming weekend in terms of hearing their name called.
Latest PFF mock draft has five Virginia Tech players picked this weekend in Green Bay
Pro Football Focus dropped their latest seven-round draft, and they had five Virginia Tech players going to different teams. Here is a breakdown of where the PFF analysts have the Hokies players going,
- Round 3, No. 91: Dorian Strong, CB, Baltimore Ravens
- Round 4, No. 112: Aeneas Peebles, DL, New Orleans Saints
- Round 5, No. 154: Antqaun Powell-Ryland, Edge, Miami Dolphins
- Round 5, No. 156: Jaylin Lane, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
- Round 6, No. 188: Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Tennessee Titans
When the draft process started with mocks, most Virginia Tech players were expected to Day 3 picks and that's the case here, but Strong moving up to a Day 2 pick potentially is no surprise. Two other players who could make the move to a Friday pick is Lane and Tuten. Don't be surprised if that happens.
Lane and Tuten have been making waves the last couple of weeks leading into the draft and have raised their stock after a good showing at the NFL Combine. It'll be interesting to see where each player ends up after this weekend.
