Jacob Phillips

Those sites just go with recruiting rankings for the later rounds.

He’s pretty good football player. As far as draft grades. He isn’t the fastest, but in the box can play.

But is he middle of the 2nd round good?

He looks slower because he’s massive in size vs everyone else on the backend of our defense.

He should be in more of LB role.

just like baseball players that go in the 46th round out of high school, then project up to the 21st round after a year, then come draft time move up to the 4th. Analysts and scouts are skiddish until it actually comes time to put pen to paper. He was a 5 star recruit for a reason. Our mid level defense has been in such disarray, he's probably been playing in unnatural spots this year, just what I think.
