Thomas’ physical tools are tremendous and you can see he has a lot of upside, but right now he isn’t a finished product.  Baja admittedly has great corners, but they basically erased Thomas in that game.  He is an outstanding prospect, but I don’t think he would step into lead dog role right away, maybe not even this season.


Would you think he’d be a step up over Gabe right away though, even before any potential polishing?  And then the team can lean on the likes of Kincaid, Samuel, Shakir and Cook to fill the rest of the role we lost in Diggs.

 

Watching Jayden Daniels freelance to Thomas, I could totally see him and Josh  hooking up for some huge plays.

I am not saying that they shouldn’t draft Thomas and let him develop and yes I think he would probably be a starter right away and a strong deep threat from the start.  I would be very happy to get Thomas as long as it doesn’t cost too much in picks to get him.

And he can't screw up their draft because he is unemployed.

My wrong. Oh my. It's been a long off-season

Plus Belichek is no longer with the Patriots.  So there is that. 

Yep. My bad. With all the Bills drama going on, I forgot the NE news.

This about sums it up. Anything more than a 4th (and flipping firsts) and I'm out the trade.

Other head scratchers if picked in the first (of course, just my $.02):

- Troy Franklin (size and hands questions and shaky combine)

- Darius Robinson (can play both DT and DE, but first round?)

- Any safety (unless you count Cooper Dejean as a S)

-Braden Fiske (arm length)

- Xavier Worthy (size & hands)

The ghost of Belichek will still have an unnatural influence,

NC States Payton Wilson. Best ILB on the board but with a second round grade.

 

Yea I can see him being a "surprise" first rounder. A bit like when Green Bay took your guy Quay in the first a couple of years back. Wasn't a bad prospect by any meana but wasn't a first round talent and reaching, even if only a bit, on a prospect at a non-premium position in round 1 is always a head scratcher.

Maybe not as much of an overdraft, but I think at least 1 of the WRs people see as late 1st early 2nd may go ahead of Brian Thomas. 

 

On the flip side one of McCarthy, Penix or Nix will slide way further than most mock drafters want to believe. 

 

I could see this being Franklin or McConkey.

Every year there are teams that take a player most had pegged as third rounders in the first round, whether it be the Raiders, New England, whoever. Who will it be this year? Which team, or teams, will reach for a player that makes everyone say “Huh?”. I love when this happens because it just means someone is falling closer to the Bills.

Whomever the Raiders take for 1000 Alex 🤣

The Raiders will come through for us
