billspro Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 1 minute ago, Mij yllek said: Maybe this is why he dropped....still well worth the pick Analysis Phillips is one of the more polarizing prospects in the 2018 NFL Draft’s DT class. It all comes down to how highly you value his production and his high-effort style of play. Those traits are valuable, but they don’t make an elite prospect on their own. Phillips’ lack of high-end athletic ability makes him a limited player in the NFL, and I’m not sure that I see him as anything more than an average NFL starter. There is room for improvement with Phillips: his hand technique is still pretty raw, and he could certainly become an above-average run defender by more consistently playing with better leverage. But his size and frame likely limit him to a role as 3T in the NFL—and if he isn’t a plus pass rusher, that means he’s a base package player only. There is certainly room for a player like Phillips on an NFL roster as a base package 3T with potential for growth, but those types of players don’t demand high draft selections. A team could certainly benefit from adding a player like Phillips in the Day 2 range, as he’s ready to start right away on base packages and would provide valuable depth to the defensive line. I just don’t understand the first round hype that Phillips has been getting, as he’s clearly a prospect with fairly limited upside—particularly as a pass rusher. They probably said the same thing about Kyle. His instincts are off the chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Love this pick! Beane killing this draft so far, IMO. Would love Oregon OT, Crosby with the next pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is considered underrated by some and is a solid tackler who can rush the passer. Needs to tone up his physical appearance some but has excellent instincts. He will be depth this year and insurance if the team loses Pat Williams in free agency next year. OK, that's it. Congrats HP! Anderson reference painful enough, reminding fans we bungled away Pat Williams is cruel and unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to forget with everyone playing out of their heads in the playoff game but that front was getting plowed in the second half of the season. Don't forget Edmunds in the Middle to clean up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does praying count? I’ve followed this with my son quite a bit, but didn’t think we’d get that lucky! He brought him to my attention a while ago, calling it early.

His situation is so bad that only one team he knows of still has him on their board. He even mentioned Hank Gathers type of bad. Such a bummer for that kid.

Hurst apparently has a heart condition that teams feel is more serious than the CBA doctors are making it. Or simply not worth the risk. If he were healthy, he'd be an early pick. But he's not, so he's not. Let Hurst go. Move on. We got a GREAT player. He is Kyle Jr, and I dont say that lightly. Check the 15min highlight reel I posted. Every single one of his plays is a highlight. He had 98 tackles last season, at NOSE TACKLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it just hopeful speculation here at The Wall? Either way, nicely done. our playoff leading defense is going to f*** some people up this year. Pretty sure they visited him and with McDermotts wrestling background and Phillips plus it being a need when he was available seemed like a good bet. Phillips benched 225 42 times and was a two time state champ wrestler in HS and a national champion as well, very impressive Meatball Jr. Edited April 28, 2018 by billrooter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
