My only question about Thomas is how he fell so far? He should have went in 3rd at latest. Id there something teams see that analyst and fans don't. He should knock Quick off the team.
I saw it, it was real.
that is what will be great about Hard Knocks. We will probably find out. He wasn't even invited to the combine, although he led FBS in a couple categories, at least one.
While he produced for Southern Miss against mostly inferior competition, there are questions about him doing it against top corners. The pluses for him are his hands and his work ethic, so I think he will be able to produce at times, especially if the Rams have another good receiver or two, so the focus can't be on him too much. An excellent pick for late in the 6th round.
He did well against a good corner at Nebraska, and Washington. He needs a little work on his release, hand play. He needs to work on his route running, saw him run a lot of similar routes, but he does a lot of good things, first and foremost, he's good at stacking his guy, then adjusting to the ball.
Quick needs to put pressure on himself, so to speak. Rams have been very patient with his development. They could have cut bait this year and no one would have really bat an eye, but he'll get another year to shed that "project" label.
Even after today's draft/UDFA he's still got the edge over every WR on this roster in terms of measurables, potential, ceiling, years in the system, and presumably...first team reps. Has to get it done now with high production, durability and consistency.
IMO he just doesn't have what it takes to be a starting caliber NFL WR. Showed some toughness coming back from injury and run blocking but he just plays too soft out there as a pass catcher. Guys built like Brian Quick should be out there stealing catches, fighting for balls, making other defensive backs look soft. He hasn't done that. Disappointing.
I won't be the least bit surprised if he doesn't make the final 53 now, with these young competitors we drafted/added today.
Looks like he's constipated and had his jaw wired shut from getting abused in Arizona.
This whole discussion is so idiotic it's humorous that people are keeping it going. But Rodgers in the green room? Ask and you shall receive.
Wow that exudes confidence!!!
How about Peyton Manning?
Holy cow I'm ready to follow that man and charge that bunker!
I know how about the winningest prick the NFL has seen in a long time at QB.
I can just feel the quiet confidence from that proud expression on his face!!!
Dude! Seriously? One shot too many? Don't pull this shit. You are a better poster than what you are showing here.
Should have done that a few pages ago.

My only question ... and this comes from not really knowing too much or seeing too much of him in college but ,,,, with his stats and the highlights I have seen.....why did he drop so far? Does anybody know? Looks to have decent speed and great hands. His size is almost optimal. For the life of me I don't understand why some of these kids drop so far down the boards. Especially in a class that is supposedly "weak at the position". I would think that would make the better/more productive ones rise a bit.
I had a Twitter conversation with Matt Waldman about Thomas a while back.
To which I asked, "Why?"

Didn't know the population of Fargo was 257.

I dunno. Givens was a lot more stiff, IMO, and wasn't nearly as willing to high-point balls in traffic.
If I had to make a comparison to any Ram, I'd lean more toward Isaac Bruce - if only in terms of his athleticism and fluidity.
