He's a fantastic athlete to go along with grown man strength and playmaking. So much Justin Smith to his game.
No doubt I just don't know where you put him on our team currently? I think he's best as a 4-3 DE end of the day
I'm not going DL with our 1st when we need some much more at other positions but dude is a monster
I agree, 4-3 DE who can move inside and rush from the interior in Nickel. He's such a good football player though, I wouldn't just limit him to that. I think he can play a number of different spots.

Possibly. He's everything you want in a football player, one of the few guys you'll say screw need and screw scheme fit. Just take him, plug him in somewhere, and let him wreck havoc.
Dude is a monster for sure. I would hate to go dline with our first again when the fact is we need QB, OLB, WR, OL(I don't know who fits the scheme)
Good problem to have I suppose.
If we switch to a 4-3 then he makes a lot of sense as a DE that can play inside as well. He has the potential to be a number 2 pick with a great combine. We would just have to have something planned for the QB spot if we get him
I've got a feeling that Lynch and company will really like Thomas. This guy plain and simple is a football player with a great motor. If we stay in a 3-4 I think i'd prefer Jonathan Allen if we go D-Line.

nfl.com made a great comparison, comparing him to Justin Smith
Saw on some mocks that he was going in the top 5 overall, with a couple havin him at # 3. If he nails the combine, they could be correct. Absolutely a damm good player.
