transplantbillsfan Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 I'm assuming someone already posted this, but he's #42 on Mayock's top 100 and #43 on Jeremiah's top 50... and just look at Jeremiah's description of him: Phillips is a powerful defensive tackle with excellent production and a non-stop motor. He dominates against the run. He jolts blockers with a quick, explosive punch before locating the football and collecting tackles. He understands blocking schemes, routinely defeating double-teams with his quickness and awareness. His lateral range is exceptional and he never seems to tire out despite rarely coming off the field. As a pass rusher, he generates a steady push with his bull rush and flashes a quick slap/swim move. He needs to improve as a finisher. He has some ankle tightness and struggles to flatten out once he gets upfield. Phillips offers immediate value on run downs and I believe he's going to improve as a pass rusher at the next level. He reminds me ofKyle Williams coming out of LSU. 3 1
Domdab99 Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Wow, I liked the pick, but he's really killing it with his statements. What a great kid. In fact, all three of our draft picks so far are doing everything right...I don't usually put much value on "high character" guys, but these three are impressive. 4

He's mentioned guys on the team by name like Trent Murpy, said "we traded up for a franchise QB so that piece is in place", said that comparisons of himself to Kyle Williams are unfounded because he could never compare himself to a player like Kyle who will have a "special history in the game". Looking forward to Kyle taking him under his wing. The kid is knowledgeable, excited, and humble. Fantastic get if it all translates on the field. Expand That's awesome, it's nice to draft players who are legitimately excited to be here 2

Domdab99 Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 By the way, if we can somehow get through the rest of the draft without saying "high motor," "lunch pail," or "blue collar," I'll give each of you $10.
ColoradoBills Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 On 4/28/2018 at 3:46 AM, The Red King said: The Bills overachieved last year, heart and chemistry being a part of it. They were the underdogs with a "Band of Brothers" feel to them. I'm getting the feeling that character is very much at play with these draft picks thus far. Yes, the usuals are talked about...ability, filling a hole and such...but there has been a lot of talk about how all three fit the team's chemistry. This pick just galvanizes the suspicion. This kid is a work horse, leaving it on the field every play. Remember when the Sabres were "The Hardest Working Team in Hockey"? At this rate the Bills are going to be the hardest working team in football. Love this pick. Expand Beane and McDermott are building the core of this team. Tre' White is getting a lot of company from this draft. I know some will talk about player talent on the field being the only thing that matters, but I am "sappy" enough to say the other things matter too. Football is a game and both the players and the fans should have fun and feel good about watching it. Keep it Beane, another big day tomorrow!

"You're the guy in the middle right there and everyone's kind of coming up and pissing on you. I was able to be a really shiny fire hydrant at the dog show I guess." Expand Beat me to it. Love this kid At one point, Phillips was thought of as a potential first or second round pick. He doesn't have the same measureable as other defensive tackles in this draft, but if there's one thing about this kid, he'll embrace the grunt work. "I kind of say the saying that my position is like the fire hydrant at the dog show," Phillips said at the Senior Bowl. "You're the guy in the middle right there and everyone's kind of coming up and pissing on you. I was able to be a really shiny fire hydrant at the dog show I guess. Thank the linebackers for sometimes pulling off those double teams on me. I appreciate the coaching staff not seeing me as some 340-pound guy who can't move and understanding my abilities, understanding I'm more athletic than the typical nose, faster than the typical nose, knowing my strength. When a play needed to be made and we would call a timeout, coach would say, 'Hey, go win. Go do what you have to do and get us the ball.'" Just watched his highlight film. His lateral movement, even while being blocked or doubled is exceptional. With Edmunds behind him to clean up, we shouldn't be giving up 200+ on the ground anymore.
Rob's House Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 I haven't watched his game tape, but I hear he has a high motor. More importantly, he has a tendency to carry his lunch in a pail. That's good enough for me. 2

Expand Kelsay was a good role player, a good 3rd DE rotational type player. The hate from fans seems to stem from the fact that he got overpaid by the Bills twice for some reason. The Bills weren't getting zero production out of him but rather they weren't getting anywhere close to the production needed considering his salary.

Reed83HOF Posted April 28, 2018 Author Posted April 28, 2018 Prisco gave the choice an A+ and had high praise for the team. Here is what Prisco wrote following the pick: This is a steal.

Buffalo86 Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 From espn: Pre-Draft Analysis Phillips is a highly disruptive run defender with elite intangibles who led the nation in tackles for a defensive lineman with 102. He grades out as a starting defensive lineman if he's used as a three-technique, 4-3 nose tackle or 3-4 defensive end (or some combination). Post-Draft Analysis The Bills signed Star Lotulelei to start inside next to Adolphus Washington, and Kyle Williams signed a one-year deal. That said, Harrison is the 43rd-ranked player on our board, making him an outstanding value pick. -- Steve Muench
