Confused why you go with 2 DEs with first four picks. I don't like that move at all. It's a heavy investment for what our new HC supposed to be good at developing.
The double down on White and Dorsett I like. It would be nice if they both fell to us where you're drafting them.
If you were to dump Phillips and draft a CB in the second round, I would be down with the mock..
Well this all depends on if Smith retires (might lose two really good starters). But Phillips is more of a NT than a DE. Williams is constantly hurt and I think being able to stop the run in the NFC West is very important.
Phillips is a massive man at 6-6 334 with really long arms. He would be plugging the holes and scouts have said if he get's that motor going he could be a dominate pro. He needs to work on pass rush but like I said we have a good teacher at that position
Anderson could be more of a 5 technique (like Justin Smith) he has shown real promise at the SB (can line up all over) and I think the 4th RD would be a good spot to grab a DE. He would be the coach's new project and having Tank, him, and Dial would only help keep the line fresh. The defense has always been based around the DL.
I don't see a huge difference in CBs that are projected in the 1st 2 rds and later in the draft. Baalke has proven to find good CBs through out the draft. Cully 3rd, Brock UDFA, Brown 5th, DJ 4th, Cooper 7th etc...DL makes the CBs better in my opinion, plus I think we resign one of the two.
Like I said it this all depends on FA and such...Baalke is wild with his picks and trades, so honestly who knows what he will do
I don't see Phillips playing nose in a 34. And to be honest I'm not all that impressed with his film either. I think he's a DE in a 34 and DT in a 43. He's the only pick I have issues with. Otherwise I'm on board.
Here is what a AFC North scout said
"He has the body type and length to play in a 3-4 or 4-3 front, but there is no reason to move him from the nose. If he gets that motor going, he could be a dominant pro." -- AFC North scout

Any chance you could post some film on him? From what I've been able to find, which isn't a lot, I don't see a 34 nose. I see a top heavy 43 DT that doesn't play with good leverage. The potential is there, but the film is not.
here ya go

What are you seeing in him that I'm not?
Did you watch the tape? He was eating up 2 blockers, was in the back field quite a bit, and was clogging up lanes. He is very quick for his size, while he isn't as good as Shelton, Goldman, and Brown (they will all be gone by the time we pick) He does have some good upside and we have the right coaching staff to coach him up to the next level.
"Phillips was impressive in 2014. He had a surprising burst for such a big lineman and used his size to overwhelm offensive linemen. In 2014, Phillips had 39 tackles, seven tackles for a loss, two sacks, and one pass batted. The redshirt sophomore caused disruption at the point of attack and looks like an excellent candidate to play 3-4 nose tackle in the NFL. That's the same role he played for Oklahoma." Walterfootball
