MKD

I think Copeland is going to enter the draft. He's pretty much said as such

over the past month. I think he's already hit his ceiling and another year wouldn't change his NFL projection. Probably a 5th rounder as he's a little undersized.

How many starters from this year's team, are starters for Franklin next yr?
MKD • 12/01/25 10:15 AM ET
Agree except I say 2 RBs & maybe 1-2 WR if you have 2 starter RBs & 3-4 WRs
marcbvtgm • 12/01/25 02:16 PM ET
Personally, I wouldn't make Greene or Peterkin a priority, but if I had to
MKD • 12/01/25 02:32 PM ET
I'll say Love at Kicker, Copeland at DT, after that all bets are off **
Hokie_N_NC • 12/01/25 10:25 AM ET
Overton @RB**

He is definitely a UDFA. He will play college football next year
icelus • 12/01/25 03:00 PM ET
He's going to get paid either way...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 10:36 AM ET
Franklin isn't going to pay him what he would make in the NFL even at
MKD • 12/01/25 10:39 AM ET
League minimum is only on the table if he makes the roster. **
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 10:43 AM ET
He'll make a roster for sure**
MKD • 12/01/25 10:55 AM ET
I think so too, but...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 10:58 AM ET
He's an above average player, but not great by any means...
MKD • 12/01/25 11:05 AM ET
I saw that too. However, to be fair to him...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 11:08 AM ET
Yeah, I'd say that's a good take. We need an influx of
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 10:20 AM ET
We have some nice running backs and some good, hard-hitting defenders.
Maroon Baboon • 12/01/25 10:41 AM ET
That defense gave up 27 pts Saturday. Allowed over 24 pts in 10 of 12 games
Hokie`79 • 12/01/25 11:13 AM ET
Well, not to make excuses, our offense went 3 & out 6 times in a row.
SmithfieldHokie • 12/01/25 04:06 PM ET
Only takes 1 mistake. Some of the D was pretty good until they got worn out**
marcbvtgm • 12/01/25 02:20 PM ET
The defense was not great
crazylane • 12/01/25 11:45 AM ET
Yeah...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 10:43 AM ET
Do you have a copy of the film? Both inside and press box sideline film?
Maroon Baboon • 12/01/25 10:47 AM ET
lol
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 10:50 AM ET
TV broadcasts aren't game film. Such an authority on football should
Maroon Baboon • 12/01/25 11:00 AM ET
OK...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 11:05 AM ET
You said you "coached for a long time"
Maroon Baboon • 12/01/25 11:35 AM ET
Well...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 12:19 PM ET
Fair enough 🫒**
Maroon Baboon • 12/01/25 12:24 PM ET
What did your tape show about punt blocking and coverage....
Coattail Hokie • 12/01/25 11:10 AM ET
I haven't looked at any of the PFF grades...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 11:12 AM ET
Don't need PFF grades, just an opinion on those with the "tapes".
Coattail Hokie • 12/01/25 11:16 AM ET
Please clarify...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 11:24 AM ET
You’re giving off some Charlottesville vibes **
XFactor11 • 12/01/25 11:56 AM ET
Negative Ghost Rider... C'ville vibes would be exactly the
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 12:13 PM ET
You suggested every player was trash.

If you can take the time to re-read my original post and ask your
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 12:11 PM ET
At a minimum, a bunch of current roster would make good backup/depth pieces
solareye • 12/01/25 11:02 AM ET
Yes. The job of the incoming staff is to separate the wheat from the chaff.**
Maroon Baboon • 12/01/25 11:06 AM ET
Rotten to the core? Geez.
Pride_and_Joy • 12/01/25 10:22 AM ET
And a bunch of guys who should have been redshirted were pressed into play
EDGEMAN • 12/01/25 11:09 AM ET
I disagree. The film shows otherwise...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 10:28 AM ET
I thought the defense played hard.
Pride_and_Joy • 12/01/25 01:40 PM ET
Effort is not the issue **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/01/25 03:46 PM ET
While some of it certainly could be a matter of perspective...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 12/01/25 03:31 PM ET
There were 3 O linemen who gave minimal effort against UVA.
