These are the guys who just aren't good enough for the NFL draft. If they're good enough for the NFL, they're going to declare for the NFL draft. We aren't losing "Edmunds'" and "Settles" here...

Yeah, we're losing experience, and that sucks, but their positions are being filled by better talent coming in behind them. These losses potentially have a bigger impact on VT today because we're so young to begin with, but that will lessen over time as our core group of starters get more games/seasons under their belts.

I'm thankful for the easier schedule next year. It's coming at a good time for the program.
