He certainly wouldn't have lasted into the 5th with where he was generally ranked as a prospect.
He was ranked roughly where he was taken IIRC. And to your other point, those gigantic defenders were all going in the third.

So I get that if you like one of those guys, and they're all going right in front of you, you don't wait to take Phillips at your pick, since it looked fairly apparent he wasn't going to slip through the cracks.
