Chase Thomas UDFA [MERGED]
Some of you "Debbie Downers" act like the fans that are happy with the Chase Thomas signing think he is going to start immediately and will be a future hall of famer! NO WAY! We just look at a position of need at 3-4 OLB and that we didn't really address the position with a high draft luck; and hope that we picked up a solid 3-4 OLB that can compete to hopefully make this team. We also look at the mock drafts and player rankings; and see a player that was listed as a 3-5th round prospect being available and we signed him. A lot of us would of been happy and wanted us to draft him, but are even happier to get him without using a draft pick. It's not like we had a ton of 3-4 OLB's on the roster, so he should have a nice shot at making this team. So like many other fans, I do not have to high of expectations on Chase Thomas coming in and being an immediate starter or big time contributor. Based on his talent, I think he will make this team. I am hoping that he, Kevin Reddick, Rod Sweeting, and Ryan Griffen make this team; but do not see any of them starting this year for damn sure!
