Yep. Too much risk for #10.Its not the amount. Its the way he plays that caused them. Hes not going to stop playing the way he does when he gets to the NFL. Thats my concern.

You sure can. I’m not saying that their won’t be some fallout from quitting, but it can be done.You can't just quit when you get paid or you don't get paid. What a nonsensical thing to say.
Yeah.. I've been watching him a lot this week and I tend to agree.
Dude has the athleticism and can shed blocks really well.
These are the types of players championship defenses are built on. Not some corner.
He looks like a top 5 non QB player in this draft who is going to be had later on at a huge discount.
If his medicals check out he should be our pick.
You would be passing on the best pass rusher in the draft which is exactly what you need on your team to win. He is worth a risk in the mid to late 1s round. If they get a year or 2 out of him it would pay off nicely. None of the other pass rushers are in the class of Jaelan Phillips. Phillips would give the Cowboys a chance to win.Anyone with that many concussions I take a hard pass on. Especially at that position.

He had 3 in one season. That isnt normal.People in here keep talking about Phillips, concussions, and his position. When is the last time a defensive lineman was knocked out of a game or missed games because of a concussion? I don't buy that argument. Wr? Definitely. Lb? Absolutely. DL? Not that common
They could trade back to 13 or 15 and take him or they can trade up from 44 if he falls into the 30's. He does become worth it at that point. He is worth the risk. He could pay off nicely.I think we can say he is the best pass rusher in the draft but at the same time admit that the concussions are a red flag, can't we? At number 10, is the risk worth it? In a year where Dallas is desperate for defense, or a stud offensive lineman, I don't know that Phillips is worth the risk. If it was my decision, I would take a guy I know is going to play at least 75% of snaps on his side of the ball in 2021. The Cowboys have Lawrence and Gregory, and while Gregory is himself a risk due to bad decisions, if he is able to play, I do not want to take him off the field to give my rookie 1st round draft choice a chance to play. They signed Basham and they have Anae for depth. I don't think DE is as much of a need at they have at other positions.
His play wasn't normal this season. He was outstanding. His testing wasn't normal. Off the charts.He had 3 in one season. That isnt normal.
Yes, 1 Super Bowl is worth it. Where else will they get a pass rusher that has this ability? So, you just want to turn it down when it is right there within reach.A year or 2 out of a first rounder? Did you really just write that?
Yes I do. Because if and when he gets another concussion he will retire. And if he doesnt he will be in big trouble. He has also already once almost quit football. Sorry I dont want to spend a first round pick on a guy who may or may not love football and or make it thru the season. He also sat out the bowl game to prepare for the draft. So obviously winning isnt too important either.Yes, 1 Super Bowl is worth it. Where else will they get a pass rusher that has this ability?

A 19 year old who suffered a slew of injuries that retired for a year isn't normal but isn't that off the wall if you think about it.
Sure, there's potential risks with future concussions/ease/length of symptoms, but the dude is a talented edge rusher.
He came back, balled out in Miami, didn't have any concussion symptoms etc.
Not saying we got to take him at 10, but I wouldn't be opposed.

So you want a rotational DE in the first round instead of a player whos out there every down? Makes senseI'm just going to throw this out there... You may disagree....
I think you can avoid taking shots to the head that would cause a concussion a lot easier than almost any other position as a DE besides OL.
Also, he'd be rotating for a year or 2 because of Lawrence & Gregory so he wouldn't be over exposed.
