I'd take him in 3 if he were there. If we were dealing in fantasy-land ideas, I'd rather see them add to the LB spot in free agency with a B plus grade player.
I have a feeling that we're going defense in 2 and maybe even 3. I also have a feeling that to the team, pass rusher and corner are bigger wants that linebacker.
Honestly, I don't know that either of them will be of much of a contributor for a year or two. According to the scouting reports on each of them on TDN, the knock on each of them is Football IQ, and each of their strength is athleticism, and both need to add some mass and strength. So, same strengths and weaknesses, but they have Dye rated about 70 picks higher than Phillips.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
