Phillip Wheeler

[Ty Statham]

Scout.com had Phillip Wheeler on their front page today. The story was supposed to rank the top ILB for the draft, but it is an Insiders only article. Does anybody know what the article said about him?

3. Philip Wheeler, Georgia Tech, 6-2, 245
Draft Projection: 2nd Round
A quick, explosive linebacker with playmaking ability, Wheeler has the makings of a potential game-changing defender. He’s always around the action and is an effective blitzer, as evidenced by his 5.5 sacks this past season. He takes good angles in pursuit and showed excellent sideline-to-sideline ability at the Senior Bowl. He received a lot of attention from teams in Mobile, and with another solid all-round performance at the Combine, look for Wheeler to move up draft boards.

3. Philip Wheeler, Georgia Tech, 6-2, 245
Draft Projection: 2nd Round
A quick, explosive linebacker with playmaking ability. Hails from an extraterrestrial planet. Cousin to predator. Shows excellent heat-sensing vision in the open field, as evidenced by his victory over Alien. Getting a lot of attention from teams in other solar systems, and with another solid performance at the ET bowl, look for Wheeler to move up draft boards.

Have been reading a few other publications that have him going later, like the 3d and 4th round. NFL combine website isn't too high on him.

I think robo goes 2-3
Wheeler goes 3-4
choice 4-5
guyton 6-7 if he goes
oliver 6-7 if he goes
brooks may go as high as rd 3-4 IMO

IMO if Brooks doesnt go by the 5th round I've severely overestimated the strategic minds of a lot of these NFL coaches. With much of the talent being evenly matched like it is with the middle 25+ teams a great punter like Brooks can make a huge difference.
