Mmmmmm, Bison Burgers

I can vouch for Bison burgers they are delish. There is a dive called the Bison Turf across the street from campus where we hung out in college. 

What site do you use for your mocks? TDN? I've used those before, but see myself using PFF's a lot more now.

@PurpleCrush yup, TDN. Actually bought the premium version for trades and no pop ups.

Yeah, it's the $25-30. I've got my money's worth.

Plus, I hate when sites "grade" your picks. It's stupid. For example, If I had mocked Justin Jefferson ahead of Lamb and Jeudy last year, which is how I had them ranked, I would've gotten a bad grade. Same with Terrell over Okudah or Winfield over Delpit.

I could certainly get behind this draft but don't think there is any way Lance makes out of the top 15 and I still believe Phillips to be the top pass rusher.  If it wasn't for the concussion history he would be a sure fire top 10 pick based on his tape and production.  So medical will be everything with just how high he goes.  I've heard comparisons to the Bosa's....which is pretty damn good

With Hunter coming off a neck injury (and what the team has seen happen with Hughes recurring neck injuries) I would be surprised if Phillips was still on our draft board.    What happens if/when he gets 1, maybe 2 concussions in the NFL?  Retire most likely.    I get Phillips could be a high risk/high reward type pick, but with our Dline uncertainty/lack of DE depth and Hunter’s injury I just feel like we need to go for more of a less injury prone player with our first rounder.   

Interesting watch on Jaelen Phillips and his return to football. https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUEcdm_Qtqw

But there are two issues with Phillips. 1. His concussion history, which led to persistent headaches forcing a short retirement. 2. Guy is nuts about his music and there are some who question how serious he is about football.

But among the edge rushers I watched, he looked the best. And it wasn't even particularly close. You can quickly see why he was a 5-star recruit. He's really gifted. Quickness, bend, hands, feet. It's all effortless.

You can do trades on PFF's site too, as long as you have premium. I like it better than any other mock draft site, though I trust their rankings maybe a little less than others.

The thing is if some team takes him in the 1st round, you can bet they've done a ton of research into his health and background. That doesn't mean it's not going to bite them in the ass though.
