Hoo will get picked in the NFL Draft?
Apr 23rd
As UVa fans, we’ve grown accustomed to seeing our guys picked early in the NFL Draft, despite less-than-stellar results for the team. Not seeing a Hoo picked in the first round last night was a bit of a shock to the system. Check out recent first and second round selections from Virginia:
| Year | Name | Round | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | Eugene Monroe | 1 | 8 |
| Clint Sintim | 2 | 45 | |
| 2008 | Chris Long | 1 | 2 |
| 2008 | Branden Albert | 1 | 15 |
| 2006 | D'Brickashaw Ferguson | 1 | 4 |
| 2005 | Heath Miller | 1 | 30 |
The Draft continues tonight, and cornerback Chris Cook appears to be a good bet to be selected in the second round. Rashawn Jackson and Nate Collins are likely mid-to-late round picks, as well. Others, including Vic Hall and Jameel Sewell, are unlikely to be drafted but stand a decent chance of catching on as a free agent with a team. (On that note, the Redskins recently signed former UVa quarterback Marques Hagans, and we’re hoping Biscuit will be able to stick this time.)
It’ll be interesting to see where Cook, in particular, is selected. I was kinda hoping he’d sneak into the first round last night, but you have to believe he’ll be picked fairly early tonight. My fingers are crossed.
