“Uhhh yeah... Let me get a uhhhh Jaelan Phillips at 25”

Jaelan may make it to pick 1-25, largely due to his injury history/risk.  In his 2 seasons at UCLA, he had significant wrist damage in a moped accident, sprains of both ankles, and three documented separate concussions that caused him to medically retire from football at UCLA.  He transferred to Miami in 2019, to continue studies (not to play football).  In 2019, he did not play, but missed the game.  In 2020, he came back to football, and showed impressive skills and production, solidly that of a round 1 pick.  The risk is he may be one hit away, one more brain injury away, from exiting football.  Most doctors will tell you that each successive concussion makes it easier to get another one.

As talented as he is, I think the concussion risk would keep me from using a 1st round pick if I were GM.
