32. New England Patriots

player. 47. Is this a reach? Probably. Phillips is ranked as the 50th overall prospect on CBS Sports’ big board, and if New England were put in this position on draft day, I think they would trade out. But Phillip is a very talented interior lineman, and with some development, he could be an every down starter for this team in the future. He is versatile, as he can anchor a run defense, but also get after the quarterback. The combination of him and Dominique Easley in the middle could be extremely dangerous for the Pats going forward. I personally feel like Easley is New England’s true number one pick this year, because he was essentially red-shirted last year, and he has the potential to be Michael Bennett-like with his impact up the middle. <p>-Cyrus Geller, <a href=.
