He ain't good period, sucks at every position , wasted pick, should have drafted McCaffrey

Drafting a RB top 5 would be laughably stupid.

Would it be as bad as drafting a guy with no real position cause you had a class with him?

He has a real position - DT. He's as pure a DT as they come.

Defensive linemen are worth top 5 picks. RBs are not. Not even Walter Payton would be worth a Top 5 pick. RBs add virtually nothing. They get similar production out of Mostert, who is a journeyman UDFA special teams guy.

Not to harp on this but if he was as pure of a DT as they come he wouldnt be 280-ish pounds and playing DE so much. Aaron Donald is one of the few lighter DTs but he's also a generational player, not the norm.

For the 4983984398439843th time, the only reason Thomas is 280 and not 320 is he has abnormally low body fat (like Donald). The DTs who outweigh him are in nowhere near the kind of shape he's in.

It's not normal to run sub-4.7 at DT, but Thomas and Donald can.

He's only playing DE more the last several weeks because of the injuries to Ford and Blair. The coaches believe he's better than the other options out there at this point.

For the 4983984398439844th time... If he doesnt have the strength and moves Donald has then he cant be considered a pure DT. He's not Aaron Donald, if he showed anything close to that level of player he wouldnt even be a consideration at DE. Arik would be there

I literally sat here thinking what to type about him and all I'm doing is shaking my head in disgust, I think that sums it up

Not as dumb as drafting 3 defensive tackles in 3 years. You see the problem there? One of them isn't going to play much. Unfortunately it's your boy.

Jamal Adams should've been the guy, but it's should've, could've, would've, but didn't !

Thats not true. He started TC as starting DE til Bosa got the 1st team reps. Thomas has been a back up DE all season. He just was behind Bosa,AA, Blair and Ford. And even then they called up Moore. He's only getting inside snaps b/c Jones and taylor are out. And Day just sucks

He doesn't have to be as good as Donald (arguably the greatest DT in history) to be a pure DT. He's the strongest player on the freak'n team. The guy who has no business playing inside every down is Deforest Buckner, as I have demonstrated in this thread. And Armstead is at defensive end in base. He plays DT on passing downs because the team thinks he and Buckner are the two best interior pass rushers.

But funny enough, what did Buckner do this game? Who's the guy who is getting the most snaps inside and has a $14 million cap figure next year?

No, he has been a backup DT all season until Blair and Ford went down. He started each game D.J. Jones was out, making him the backup NT.

And Thomas was working with the second team as a DT in camp this year...not sure where you were.

Rush defense was elite still with Thomas and Day taking a lot of snaps. Once we get our 3 starting DB's back from injury the defense will be solid. Falcons caught us at the perfect time for their offense to work without a running game

Good teammate, Good in the locker room, Really just a barely ok player. Over 8 million against the cap next year. If he wasn't a high pick he would be gone. He needs to be released after the season. To bad. Looks like Tarzan , plays like Jane.
