Placeholder For DE Prospects

[Guest]

Really reading/hearing a lot of buzz about this guy lately. He's not long, but his quickness and speed numbers are elite. 4.6 forty is Donald-like. Brugler has him 4th among IDLs, ahead of Nixon.

#Miami DE Jaelan Phillips, whose impressive Pro Day has him rising up draft boards, was not in Indy last week for medical evaluations because he tested positive for COVID-19, source said, though he’ll receive his physical with plenty of time prior to Draft night.

I know about the concussions, but UMiami’s

@CanesFootball Jaelan Phillips is the best defensive player in this year’s draft. I don’t even think it is close.

High, high, risk. High reward at a position of need. If you hit on Phillips, and Hunter returns to form, and Tomlinson provides a push up the middle, might be our best DL since Doleman, Milliard, and Hank.

Yeah, this is just one of those things we can't know about. Huge risk, huge reward. Is it worth it? Just need more information. Hopefully the Vikings have done their due diligence.

I don't have any doubt this statement is true. But does he play 17 games a season?

Not a DE, but damn.

 Here's how I see it. If we take him, or any team takes him, in the 1st round, you kinda have to trust that the team had their medical people on it for weeks, if not months. So I will be excited if he's our pick, knowing the Vikings would've had to do a ton of work on him. Because if you didn't eliminate the risk somehow (and don't ask me how), I don't even know how you can take him in the 2nd round.
