White?

Steve Smith just said on NFL network this guy is one of the best route runners in this draft and Phillips will play rapidly because of it

Oh yeah!!! He’s going to fit right in!

 

 


One thing you can’t teach is being a playmaker. The way he shed defenders did moves and broke tackles for that touchdown shows he has the potential to be a quality player.

I was big on Phillips as a reliable receiver, but in mocks, he seemed to usually go before pick 90, and always before 131. 

 

To get him in 5 really was a steal, IMO. People who have watched him seem to think so. 
 

It says most everyone was focused on speed at receiver for him to fall this far. (i.e. Tyquan Thornton going to New England in the 2nd versus the 5th or 6th.)

5th seems about right for this type of WR.  He's very likely to find success in the NFL, but very unlikely to ever be a WR1 or WR2.  The punt return ability is a big selling point.
