3. NT Jordan Phillips (Buffalo Bills)

Analysis: At 6-5, 329, Phillips would be the ideal candidate to replace NT Javon Hargrave if he departs in free-agency at season’s end. A player who is stout at the point of attack, who can two-gap, leverage, and clip, Phillips would be a welcomed addition to the Steel Curtain. He has the elongated arm-length (34 3/4) to hold the point, peek into the backfield, shed the block and make the play. Through six games, the Oklahoma product has recorded four sacks including a hat-trick against the Tennessee Titans, two weeks ago.
