De'Anothony Thomas Declares for Draft

[IAmLegend]

-A bit of a surprise here. Reports said he was 50/50 on coming out. Regardless, he's an electrifying talent and a weapon to be accounted for. The Tavon Austin comparisons will be inevitable, but I don't see him going as high as Austin did last year when the Rams snagged him with the 8th overall pick. Some team will be lucky to have him in the slot and as a return man though.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Eagles took him early. Chip Kelly recruited him and loved him at Oregon, and they need another WR. Him and DeSean Jackson on the field at the same time would be scary.

He's a weapon however I don't know about in the 1st round...

Has some Tavon Austin to his game. He is fragile though. Have seen as low as 4th round grades on him.

After seeing what Dunbar did for the team in one half of ball......I wouldn't mind seeing this guy in a Cowboy uniform, but not before the mid rounds.

He'll be great as a return man and for screens/trick plays but I don't know how high of a pick I'd use on that guy. 3rd round maybe but I'm not sure how many snaps you could really expect him to play per game.

i want this guy bad !

 

[4lifecowboy]

we have a need for speed!

 

[jblaze2004]

we need that speed on offense. But he would probably be wasted here. Garret sucks at getting playmakers the ball.

 

[KDM256]

Probably the best move for him... 2015 is stack with running backs unlike this years class... See him going inthe 3rd round at best

 

[cowboys1981]

If he's there in the 4-5 round, go for it.

You noticed that huh. Amazing the 3 yard pattern to Witten always seems to be open.

De'Anthony Thomas - RB - Ducks
Oregon junior RB/WR De'Anthony Thomas will declare for the NFL draft.

Thomas will be seen as a luxury in the NFL, and it could be argued he was considered that this year for the Ducks. His career could travel in the way of Darren Sproles', which is best case scenario, or Dexter McCluster's, a role player who has not lived up to expectations. Every team might not be a great fit, but we would not be surprised if Thomas lands in the late second-round. He registered 246 yards and one touchdown through the air in 2013, while totaling 594 yards and another eight scores on the ground.
