Jordan Phillips...what a flash of his ceiling...wow.

This guy could be such a great asset to this team. I big monster like him taking two blockers and then what?? Two for Suh or two for Wake? Vernon better be ready to see one on one all year and get it done. Seriously, this kid just pushes the pocket with Suh and QBs can't step up. Boom comes Wake, Boom comes Vernon. That excites me. I wish we played more press man so we could take away those quick passes. Going to be an interesting year.

 

Leading up to the draft there was this:

Draft Week Rumor Mill
Updated April 29, 2015

"Oklahoma nose tackle Jordan Phillips has a shot at being a late first-round pick, as there are a number of teams picking in the 20s that could take him. That group includes the Lions, Ravens, Broncos, Packers and Patriots. Sources think that Broncos are a team to keep an eye on."

"The Packers are also a landing spot for Phillips, as they aren't locked in to B.J. Raji and Letroy Guion. The Patriots need a replacement for Vince Wilfork, and the Ravens have to replace Haloti Ngata. The Lions traded for Ngata to plug the hole filled by Ndamukong Suh, but they need another tackle to make up for the loss of Nick Fairley. Phillips and Florida State nose tackle Eddie Goldman could be in high demand. If Phillips slips out of the first round, he should go quickly in the second."

His problem, since college, is inconsistency, he flashes here and there, but disappears for long stretches.

I'm hoping he can "get it" like Soliai did, but I'm also worried that he will have a short career due to his back problems, and at his height playing DT, it's just going to get worse over time a la Gardener.

 

Maybe we've found our successor to Reshad Jones.

 

Once again you are bang on.

Wish you were a Dolphins scout, bro.

 

I honestly think he went to the ground to protect the football, he was so close to just housing it.

 

He'd be a great scout man.

 

DJ is usually spot on.
