They id'd Thomas and when the Redskins offered a bargain price he pulled the trigger.
The real question to me is what next?

What about the actual pick? 4.6 40 time?

Do think he needs to hit the weight room though but now that this is his job... -

That trade may have been a steal had they picked someone that would fit the value label....like saayyy MALLETT??

It was too much to give up for a RB with mediocre speed and fumbling problems.

I suspect one of the reasons why Irish made this trade is they are quite happy with the developmental Wr's and Te's we already have, Epps, Shuler, Moore, Wallace, JPru, meaning late rd picks for competition players are not as needed this offseason. -
Being decisive can make up for lack of speed. I guess I'm glad we took the slow running back in round three rather than round one with ingrahm. Still not happy.
Ireland needs like 5 drafts to get it all imo. At least he isn't being desperate

I don't like the pick, but I guess it's good they didn't get screwed on the trade.

Are you guys suggesting that Thomas isn't exactly in top shape? That could mean some room for improvement.

Running back is a different matter, there are backs with speed and size still on the board like Jones, Scott, Carter, Fanin, we really should land one as betting the farm on Kory Sheets is just not smart. -

Btw, it is 11 fumbles in 2 years, 7 last year. Not 7 in two years.
Hopefully he can get it fixed - some backs have been able to overcome fumble issues, others have not. I would have preferred someone without them to start with. -
That's a good thing. It's what Miami's good at. He could perhaps be a little more explosive and faster with work at the next level. Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown were productive for years because they were in the best shape.

1.54 10 yard split
10'3" broad jump
34' vertical
He has leg explosion. I'll take a chunk of 20 yard runs over one 80 yard run any season.maynard likes this. -
BTW it is surprising how he measures to P Hillis physically, about 6'0, PH was 240 pds coming out, he also ran the same 4.55 as Hillis, it is also interesting that because DT was not a RB until his jr yr in college maybe he saved some of the pounding that say a Dion Lewis has taken. -

One reason why his body has not been developed the same way other RBs would have by now. Look at Ingram in comparison.

Thomas, a former QB, has been the Wild Cat guy for two years, another plus having a RB who can actually throw.
We're at #14 on Sat, and Green and DJ Williams are still there. Fill the TE need and I'm a happy camper. There's also a few speed WR's still out there which could work. -

i dont want to go overboard here, but i think this kid has to be the clear starter at some point this season for this pick to work out. one of these times, we are going to get lucky with a guy on offense. RB is a great position for a surprise breakout guy.
ok, while im on the optimism train....i just looked at a video of him. first two words that popped into my head: marcus allen
