The University of Miami’s Jaelan Phillips and Gregory Rousseau are two EDGE products that are frequently mock-drafted to the Minnesota Vikings and elsewhere during the 1st Round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Both men will end up with NFL teams — assuredly by the middle of the 2nd Round — and have a reasonable chance at starting in Week 1 of 2021.
It’s a ruthless phrase to type, but Miami’s Jaelan Phillips is not worth the gamble for the Vikings with the team’s 14th pick.
His scouting report is mouthwatering, invoking comparisons to the Vikings other defensive end, Danielle Hunter.
