It's one of those things were simply being unique can create an advantage for you.
He's one of those guys I'm looking at when I say that I don't really care much about prospect age at a certain point. I mean folks will look at Norman-Lott and Jordan Phillips and say "Well Jordan Phillips is only 20, ONL is 23 -- Phillips is clearly a higher upside prospect..."
I just can't get there. I don't see a 6'2", 315 lb guy in Phillips having a growth spurt. Or getting faster. Now getting out of Maryland's program into an NFL program might be a big deal for him but that would be a big deal for 24 year old Darius Alexander going from Toledo to an NFL program as well. At that point it's not age, it's situation.
I think people might look past ONL a bit because he's a little older and has never put up eye-popping numbers. But he's had 2 really good years at TN and just creates problems on the interior. I think he's a perfect get if he's there for us in the 2nd.

I'd have no problem with that. ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, I agree with Veach's tendency to look at the younger player first. But if a guy is a unique talent, he's a unique talent. And you may be right about Norman-Lott.
