Love Thomas he's not a true edge rusher which is what we need.
Here's a article explaining what he's does best.

Thomas is a great a player but a man without a true position really in any base scheme. In a traditional 4-3 he looks like a strong side DE to me but obviously that is not the most valued position on the DL. No true position in a 3-4 but SAM OLB is probably his best spot and I see him being a SAM too in our scheme in base. In nickel you can put him at every DL position so that's where his true value lies IMO.
I think he showed today he's strong enough, quick enough and agile enough to be able to play on both the strong and weak side DE. Versatility is something our GM and HC have been saying they want out of players since they've been hired and this kid has that and the film to show he's more than just physical numbers.
The LEO, which you are referring to as weakside DE would be our best outside pass rusher and standing up a lot of time. I don't see him being that but he wouod be really good as a SAM in our scheme.
Idk most mock drafts have Thomas going to Jax. They also play the 4-3 under. Id imagine they are slotting him at the Leo there.

I really like Thomas, but isn't Barnett a better fit for our new system?

He could outperform most edge rushers in the NFL tomorrow. His motor never shuts down and he will wear an OT out and beat him up in the process. I don't see why he couldnt get close to one sack a game with the wreckless abandon he plays with.

Also, where players are mocked have no bearing on anything. More than half the time these mockers don't understand the teams, their scheme, or their actual needs.

Ahhh now it makes sense...your a bias pack 12 fan
He's a interior pass rusher not a elite edge rusher

6.95sec 3 Cone(4th Fastest), 4.28sec short shuttle (Tied for 2nd fastest)
3 cone drill
The 3 cone drill tests an athlete's ability to change directions at a high speed. Three cones in an L-shape. He starts from the starting line, goes 5 yards to the first cone and back. Then, he turns, runs around the second cone, runs a weave around the third cone, which is the high point of the L, changes directions, comes back around that second cone and finishes.
Shuttle run
The short shuttle is the first of the cone drills. It is known as the 5-10-5. What it tests is the athlete's lateral quickness and explosion in short areas. The athlete starts in the three-point stance, explodes out 5 yards to his right, touches the line, goes back 10 yards to his left, left hand touches the line, pivot, and he turns 5 more yards and finishes.
This guy can play inside and outside on the DLine.
