Virginia Tech has its usual draft prospects—the program has had former Hokie selected every year since 1994—but the 2015 targets aren't exactly "blue chip."

Andy Bitter of The Roanoke Times believes, if that streak of NFL selections is to continue, it will do so on Day 3 of the draft. The players he cites as the most likely to be picked this weekend are offensive tackle Laurence Gibson and safeties Kyshoen Jarrett and Detrick Bonner.

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. thinks Gibson has some professional upside, according to Bitter.

"I think Gibson is the most intriguing," Kiper told The Roanoke Times. "You coach him up, he can be a much better pro than collegian."
