I was waiting to see who would say it first.  Props. 

I think they are thinking of Phillips as the slot CB if they can't sign Alexander for another really good deal.  Phillips had been a slot CB, and was moved outside when Waynes went down and he responded very well.  

I personally would like to see Phillips as quality depth (you know we will need it) behind Waynes and WJIII with Alexander in the slot, but I honestly just believe WJIII will be gone and Phillips will stay outside and they will be successful in signing Alexander.  CB will become a very high priority in the draft.  I still believe they would take Chase #1OA, but I could see them perhaps trading back in to the first round to get a CB as well.  

A strong FA period will be critical if they wish to beef up the offensive line.  That, and if Faalele can be there in Rd 3.  That dude has mammoth RT written all over him.  Might be prudent to keep Hart one more year to ease him in, though, as he is still very raw.  But the guy dwarfs Bechton...and I would love the thought of a mass of humanity next to a beast of a RG like Duane Brown from Bama.
