I know his name has been brought up before and there was speculation that he could run under 5.0 in the 40. In a recent workout, he didn't quite achieve that but he was impressive anyways.

His recent workout numbers wowed even the most hardened scout as he measured in at nearly 6-5, 373 pounds; ran between 5.11 and 5.20 in the 40; has 33 bench reps of 225 pounds; and had 11½-inch hands. Players of his size and agility just do not come along often enough for teams to pass on him once the fifth round starts in spite of his limited game film, exposure to big-time competition and raw technique. Just think about this tidbit for a moment: he ran 1.70 in the first 10 yards of his 40. In comparison, one of USC wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett's 10-yard splits was 1.65 and Thomas weighs over 150 pounds more than Jarrett.

If we could somehow trade into the 5th round, do you think he would be worth it?

That's pretty fast for 370+lbs. If he is there at 6 why not. He would be a project, but he is got some good numbers, for what it's worth.
 
Maybe worth taking a chance on. Size is incredible, could challenge Fred Evans for game time.
 
He played at Northwest Community College which is right down the road from me...The guy is absolutely the biggest thing you will ever see on a football field
 
If you painted him orange you could slip him into the Fantastic Four and nobody would notice.

At 373, he gets props for finishing the 40 yard dash, let alone nailing a decent time. Bring the big dude aboard. He'd also make an awesome blocking back on 3rd and goal. :D
