We. As fans simply don’t have the information needed to make an informed decision on Phillips.
To make the best choice on where to slot him, the team will have to talk to his doctors, team doctors, his UCLA coaches, his Miami coaches, probably some team mates from both schools, and then have a chance to talk to him and ask questions. Only then can a good decision be made about a multi-million dollar choice.
It isn’t perfect but it is the best you can do to gauge his love of the game, competitiveness, and long term health.
In short: We lack the information needed to decide if and where Phillips should be drafted. By draft day, the Cowboys will know these things.
As for the player... I think he’s a very good prospect and I wish he didn’t have the questions because there would probably be a good chance that he’d be the pick at 10. If his health and love of the game are right, I think he’s going to be a double digit sack guy for a long time.
