...still over 2 weeks away.

He seems very confident Thomas will go early. I haven’t even watched tape of him at all.

 

[Teague31]

What a joke

 

[AsthmaField]

I actually like R Mason-Thomas a good bit… but 12 is awfully rich for him.

At 20, I’d be fine with him if the defensive staff thinks he’d fit in the system. He’s damn good

 

[Hardline]

R.Mason Thomas was a non factor against the Longhorn offensive line other than one sack.

 

[ChuckA1]

I saw a mock today on IG that has Downs dropping to the 'Boys at 12. There were 4-5 offensive players selected before 12. Although I'd love it, I just can't see that happening

 

[AsthmaField]

Plus, Prisco has been out of touch with drafts for a while now.

I can’t see Bain going 3rd overall either.

 

[Teague31]

Thomas will be lucky to get drafted in the first round

Pete's time has passed

 

[Cowboyny]

CBS site is awful these days after Dane left them a few years ago

 

[RonWashington]

Bleacher Report compares him to Nik Bonitto , has a 4.67 40 . Hard pass .

 

[rambo2]

I have no clue how anybody could have Thomas going at pick 12.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

I’m sleep.

 

[exciter]

Bleacher Report compares him to Nik Bonitto , has a 4.67 40 . Hard pass .

The Nik Bonitto who's generated 27.5 sacks the last 2 seasons?
If he was likely to do that then yes.
But he's not, he looks to be an 8 sack ceiling and liability against the run while developing for the next 3 seasons!
But hell, I'll take the real Nik Bonitto and his 14 sacks!

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

That is one of those wiped out scenarios where the top players you would like have been taken.

I like Mason Thomas, just not at 12.
Pete may actually be correct in the idea that he will go higher than most think.

Would do everything to trade down a few spots even if you lost out by a few points.

A combo of Thieneman and Messidor, Howell and maybe Terrell even though I am not as high on Terrell as others. What worries me if we stick and pick is that there will not be a LB of value with those two picks. That is why a trade down would be optional as you can get value with getting one of many LBs at the end of the first but most likely in the second.
