Love your first three picks. But we need a NT and I would pick one up in the fourth round.

Seriously doubt Benn will be there. With Thomas' inability to work out I think you'll see Benn be the 2nd receiver off the board in the 20s and Tate come off in the 30s.

I think if Thomas can't workout before the draft or has a poor workout, there's a good chance he'll be there at 43. But... he's a huge fricken' question mark with possible bust written all over him and at best is a very raw player at a position of need.

And as I like to say:

Need position + raw player = Fired coach.

Thomas is going to take a while to teach to run routes. And it's not like he shows the kind of natural COD skills where you can project him to pick it up quickly. Probably a 2 year project if he can even do it. Oh, and he has no experience reading coverages, either. He'll have to be taught that.

Basically he's a height/weight/speed guy (assuming he has the speed) who can get off press coverage and high point the football in traffic. Everything else he'll have to learn.
