    The over/under on Jaelen Phillips pick is 21.5 with equal vig on both sides. Dolphins should take him if he’s there 18th, I don’t want to hear any nonsense about scheme fit, you take BPA.

    I disagree. Drafting for scheme fit rather than BPA will lose over time. I don’t care if Phillips doesn’t fit the scheme, to me he’s a better player than Rousseau at the next level and they’d make it work. It’d be like passing up Ja’Marr Chase for Jaylen Waddle because you think he’s better...

    Rousseau's stock is dropping like a rock. I've seen mocks where he's not even projected to go Round 1 anymore. Phillips outshining him at the Pro Day has something to do with that, along with very strong Pro Days by other edge players such as Oweh from PSU and Ojulari at UGA. A couple weeks...
