I've made it clear I have a man crush on the guy. He does get the dropsies at times, but he is very physical, and a serious deep threat. From what I've heard, the only thing keeping him from being a Calvin Johnson type player are his speed and hands.

I actually like him more than I liked Hakeem Nicks last year, and that was a lot.

 

Oh..is that all?:lol:

 

I loved hakeem nicks last year and i love thomas this year.He reminds me of brandon marshall just a little shorter.

 

Thomas is going to be hit or miss. Hard to really evaluate his skills becuase of the offense he was in. To me the drop on 4th down he had that ended the game really stayed in the back of my head. His hands actually might improve by practicing catching all the time. After all that he could be a complete bust. I would much rather have Tate or Benn. Thomas and Lafell both suffered from poor QB play as well as drops

 

The ONLY way he's a miss is if he just doesn't give a damn and has zero work ethic, anyone heard of his work ethic?

He's far to physical, he catches the ball like great WRs do, with his hands. He reminds me of Anquan Boldin all over again. he's a bigger, stronger Nicks. I think he's a late first value. If we don't pick Dez in the first I pray we can get Bebe in the 2nd...

 

I'm really high on him as well. I remember watching him during the UM game and seeing him run through and by their secondary.

 

People should never underestimate the value of blocking on a Parcells club. Bill has always loved receivers that can block, and it's probably a pretty good bet that Sparano shares the same philosophy.

 

I like Thomas, but Nicks more. DT has a lot of great qualities- size, athletic ability (great basketball player), toughness, blocking, production- but he lacks a bit in terms of speed, suddenness and explosion. I would take Benn or Tate over him, although I still think that Dez Bryant in the 1st is a slam dunk. I see DT as more of a guy that you hope slides to our pick in the 3rd rd, not sure about him as a high 2nd rd pick. But he does have potential, that's for sure. I'm still intrigued by Dezmon Briscoe- he has good size, produced, and has more explosion to his game than DT. I'm still hoping that Benn falls to us in the 2nd rd.

 

That's simply not true. He may have got double in obvious passing situations, but that is when Nesbitt struggled the most.

 

No he was not double teamed all the time. People had to bring more ppl in the box and that playaction is crazy. He did a good job of getting open but the offense he played in is still a factor

 

I agree blocking is a huge part. However I am gunna say this when u say Thomas is the best blocking WR hands down u didnt watch Riley Cooper. Cooper is a guy that blocks his *** off every play. Meyer said this was the Best blocking WR he has ever had and it showed. Florida ran alittle option too and alot of big runs came off Cooper blocking.

 

My only concern is with his hands. Patrick Turner dropped quite a few passes in preseason and he ended up being inactive almost all season. That could just be a coincidence. I certainly do not have any inside info. However I would not be happy with another wideout who has trouble catching ball.

Chris Chambers, Derek Hagan, Ted Ginn, Patrick Turner...

Enough with the dropsies.

 

Possibly my favorite Wr in this draft, warts and all, he is one of the few "big" Wr that I've seen that has "it".

B Lefell is another one.

 

His hands do not concern me 1 bit. There's a big thing WRs that have dropsies their hole careers have in common. That's trying to catch the ball with their body...when CC had to catch the ball with his hands, he constantly made the catch. Ted Ginn as well. Bebe does not catch the ball with his body in the least. He attacks the ball with his hands. His route running and work ethic(just cuz you never know) are my biggest concerns...definitely not his hands

#30 for Clemson with the Dreds is a Dolphin today..

One thing I notice, either he is wiiide open, or he just outmuscles the Db, not sure if that will happen in the NFL consistently.

im with you pod
as bad a passing team as they were Thomas gets up there and goes after it
great down field blocker
gets good yac
bey bey is a bbbbeast
if he is there at 43
as scary as it would be considering our needs
dont think i would be disappointed at all

 

#43 is to high for him imho, his hands are kinda iffy, but he stuck at GT when they switched to the triple option, so he is not put off by the work it takes to improve them.

He could be there are #76 after the upper tiers like Tate and Benn are long gone.

 

bey bey thomas wont be around at 76
would like it but unlikely
my thoughts are the same
43 is early i guess :up:
the draft is funny like that
why the hell does the first round happen on thursday night
4/22/10
thats just dumb and wrong

 

Dumb?

They get to sell an extra days worth of commercials, and you will watch...and you will...every last second...all the way to Mr/ Irrelevant...:yes:

 

He haz teh intangiblez.

 

In all fairness, Turner's problem was much more one of not being able to get separation.

 

As much as I love DT, I pretty much agree with your statement.... well at least until you mentioned Benn. I want nothing to do with that guy.

 

If he cant find the seperation needed at the NFL level, let him pack on 15 lbs, and convert him to your own vernon davis. dude would be a sick tight end, in the mold that we need. with his measurables, hands, and blocking skill. whats he at right now 230?. I see him droppin in the 2nd somewhere..If we got mcclain or graham, i wouldnt be upset with DT in the 2nd.versatile player thats fits with our own versatile offense.

either way, hes a nice thick athlete with a lot of athleticism.

 

I see Thomas as very hit or miss. He's Patrick Turner part deux.

 

If we can't get Dez Bryant in the first round i am all for drafting this guy in the second round

 

So he's a slower, shorter, less sure-handed version of Calvin and Marshall? That narrow things down. Now I definitely want this guy!! :lol:

 

Nor does he catch it with his hands in the least at all times as well. :shifty:

I'm sorry, but NFL receivers dont run the route: "just run down field, jump up, and catch the ball" on a regular basis as if it were just drawn up with a stick in the dirt during the huddle. This kid has a lot to prove to show he can be an impact in the NFL other than end of half hail mary attempts IMO.

 

How can you possibly say that? Does he show you a natural talent for route running? Does he show you a natural talent for reading and understanding the coverage in front of him? Does he show you any natural ability for catching passes from all the various routes? Does he show a natural ability for gaining separation during "normal" routes? Has he shown a natural ability to get open deep when defenses aren't keyed in so much on stopping the run?
No, no, no, no, and no. LOL.

That's like saying every other guy in federal prison is a potential pro bowler. :lol

 

Agreed....... except Turner was more polished. Thomas is so rough he needs a team of carpenters working around the clock with industrial strength sanders just to smooth him down.

IMO he's at least a few years away from making an impact in the NFL, if even that..... and you don't draft major projects with high 2nd round picks. You just don't. Poor poor way to run an organization.
