    Mel Kiper: “You look at him; He is huge, a mountainous defensive tackle, 6-5, 330 pounds, incredibly long arms. He’s a space eater who can penetrate at times, work through a double team. Wore down late in games, second half of games. Up and down effort. Needs to increase his stamina, his endurance.

    "Production was so-so. He was highly regarded coming out of high school. He had that back injury, back surgery in 2013. That was a concern through the draft process, along with the fact while he’s athletic for his size, he has to get in better shape, has to be better in the second half of games.”

    “Underwent back surgery in October of 2013 in an attempt to correct issues that had bothered him for a few years. As head coach Bob Stoops said at the time of Phillips' surgery, the procedure wasn't due to one specific injury. Has only one full season of starting experience at the collegiate level.”

    Rang compares him to Kansas City’s Dontari Poe: “Because of their similar build and eye-popping athleticism, Poe is the easy comparison for Phillips. While Poe has emerged as one of the NFL's most intimidating nose guards, many others with similar talents have struggled with consistency in the NFL.

    ### It will be fascinating to see if Phillips ends up a better player than cornerback Eric Rowe (Miami traded the 47th pick to the Eagles, who used the pick on Rowe), UM linebacker Denzel Perryman and FSU cornerback Ronald Darby (who both went between 47 and Miami’s trade-down pick at 52), or Oregon tackle/guard Jake Fisher, who went after Miami’s pick.
