Michael Thomas - Sports Science

With all the work you do in the off season, which by the way is truly impressive. You could probably be a scout.
I find it pretty odd that you're so anti picks sometimes.
You have no clue how good this guy could be.
Yeah, he could totally flop. But he could also turn out to be the best WR we've every drafted.

You of all people know that it takes time to get to used to NFL completion and to hone your game.
Just some food for thought. It's happy time right now until reality hits us all in the face.

I can't realistically be for every pick.

I've just been through the "one-handed catch," "NFL Bloodlines," "has great measurables song and dance before." We all Have.

I was very for the Von Bell, Onyemata, and Lasco selections. I raved about 7 of the UDFA pick ups. I even had Michael Thomas as one of my top 7 redzone receivers in the class but whatever praise that I add usually gets drowned out by the slightest bit of criticism. I'm not an expert here and I never claim to be. I just post what I see, which can be as wrong as anyone here.

What I do like about Thomas is his redzone potential.

Thomas, Jordan Williams, and Dangerfield were 3 of my top 7 redzone guys pre-draft,/Pre-Moritz Boehringer proday and they all help in short yardage situations like Colston used to.
