For a 6'6 295 lb OLineman those numbers would be terrible. Skyler Phillips is 6'3 318. For his size, those numbers are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two real teams that he played against in 2018 were Colorado and Oregon State.....show us some tape of what he did in those games.

HASHBROWN3 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 OVERVIEW Bengals coaches have fully utilized Phillips' versatility over the past five years, starting him at both guard and both tackle positions. The Eugene, Oregon native started all 12 games as a true freshman in 2013, lining up five times at left guard and seven times at right tackle. Phillips started 10 games as a sophomore, all at right guard. He played three spots for ISU as a junior, starting five games at the right guard spot, three at left tackle, and one at right tackle. Phillips lost most of the 2016 season due to injury after starting the first four games as the blind side tackle. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS His arms look like thighs. Has compact, powerful frame with booming power in upper body. Jolts opponents when greeting them with his hands. Relatively light on his feet. Handled pass pro duties at left tackle in 2016 and slides looked clean. Good lateral quickness with a smooth skip pull in his pocket. Tape is filled with players being knocked to the ground by his down blocks. Can press defenders out of his frame to gain separation. Flexible throughout lower body and keeps pad level low. Pass sets with good base, balance, and stance. Feels twist development and passes his man off with a strong snap while re-positioning to catch incoming twister. Has anchor to fight back against bull rushers. Was able to remake his body by dropping a substantial amount of baby fat from when he first came into the program. WEAKNESSES Hand placement is erratic. Gets forced into resetting hands too often during blocks. Allows defenders to draw first blood with shots into his frame. Squatty frame includes shorter arms. Balance is just average. Unable to consistently land and stick to his blocks. Wins early phases of run blocks but finishing is inconsistent. Narrow power zone creates tendency to fall off blocks after initial blow. Needs to play with better balance on work-up blocks to linebackers. Frequently matched against smaller, weaker opponents on his schedule. Missed final seven games of 2016 after suffering a concussion and teams will likely dig deeply into that. DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 5-6 SOURCES TELL US "I always feel like I'm watching a bouncer when I watch him. He's stronger than everyone around him and he can drop some of these guys with one shot. He's the enforcer out there for sure." - AFC East scout NFL COMPARISON Shaq Mason BOTTOM LINE One-and-done blocker with serious power to jolt defenders in his initial punch, but an inability to sustain blocks and ride them out. Phillips may be evaluated as a guard, but he might be better-suited as a center where his power and field awareness can stand out and his struggles with sustaining blocks may be minimized somewhat.

g-dawg Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 again, I am not totally hating on your guy - might be worth a 6th or 7th round flyer - he is very far from a sure thing is the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's doing exactly what we hope for smaller school guys to do when we're scouting them for the NFL. He's absolutely dominating. Similar to what Marpet did at Hobart.

As to your video above and the NFL.com scouting report - clearly states he has a hard time staying on blocks - and then your video is just him pushing little guys to the ground.

They've got Christian Kirk listed as a 4th-5th round guy, they've got scrubs like Tim Settle, Deon Cain, and Jamarco Jones ranked above legitimate studs like P.J. Hall, Courtland Sutton, and Brian O'Neill. I have no clue who's doing the scouting reports for that site but my lord are they terrible this year.

Snafu Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) The "Level of competition" argument is so tired. Every year... AND I MEAN EVERY YEAR, it's used by fans to knock certain players who go on to be studs anyway. Mike Iupati played for Idaho against just as weak, if not weaker, competition and it didn't stop him from going 17 overall.
