Mike Mayock... "There are no Safeties in the 2008 draft worth a 1st round pick."

Mayock's comments aside, I've always wondered why people liked Kenny Phillips so much. I think it just kinda became popular for people on this board to put him in their mock drafts, simply because we need a safety.

I haven't heard him mentioned as anything earlier than a mid to late first round pick. I think a lot people fell in love with him because he plays for Miami. Had Sean Taylor and Ed Reed not come from Miami, I'm sure he wouldn't have gotten that kind of love on his board.
