Yeah and Terrell Owens played at UT-Chattanooga and still got drafted in the 3rd round.
John Randle got passed on because of his measurables. He was thought to be too small. ...

Why didn't teams take a chance on John Randle?
It just happens sometimes. Thomas and Kevin Reddick were both mid-round draft prospects coming into the draft process that slid for whatever reason. ...

That mid-range shot is going to bode well for him in the coming years.
Once he gets bigger and stronger there's really not going to be a spot on the floor you can defend him at.
He's gonna blossom into a big time player within a couple years..rebounding numbers were fantastic for minutes play...

D'haquille Williams was the best player in the state his senior year of high school. Absolutely fantastic, one of the best high school receivers I've ever seen.
This is a one year thing, but oh my goodness he's going to tear it up for a year. So friggin good....

| re: Kevin Reddick and Chase Thomas comparisons - HMTVBrian2 on 5/1/13 at 5:38 pm
Reddick and Thomas could've been picked in the 3rd or 4th tbh.
Neither are explosive athletes and that's why they slid. I don't think it'll affect Reddick much though, Brandon Spikes ran like a 5 flat and he's a fine player inside. ...

Yeah I really don't see a place for Will Smith and Vilma right no was it is, but I guess they're keeping them as locker room leaders.
I guess if you switch up your fronts you can have use for them. I really think Vilma's done though. Can't move like he used to....

| re: Roster "Locks" as of today - HMTVBrian2 on 4/29/13 at 4:29 pm
I think they'll for sure keep all 3 safeties if only because Harper plays a significant role in the scheme and Jenkins is on the end of a pretty reasonably cheap deal.
Now, after this year, all bets are off. Especially if Vaccaro turns out to be as solid a player as I think he will....

| re: Rufus Johnson vs Chase Thomas - HMTVBrian2 on 4/28/13 at 12:55 pm
IDK if Thomas is completely maxed out but he's not a spectacular athlete so that's definitely why he fell in a deep draft.
Kevin Reddick too. But I expect both will be solid pros tbh. They have talent.
Reddick especially will succeed here imo. He's an inside linebacker that can rush the passer...

| re: Chase Thomas = Scott Shanle - HMTVBrian2 on 4/28/13 at 12:40 pm
Thomas can play. He's very skilled with his hands and disengages from blockers well, has some pretty advanced pass rush moves for a college guy, and he's big enough to slide inside too.
He's not an explosive athlete, though, so that hurt him, but he can be a solid pro for sure....

| re: Signing Kevin Riddick & Chase Thomas is like getting 2 extra draft choices - HMTVBrian2 on 4/27/13 at 9:12 pm
Anytime you watched Stanford last year Chase Thomas usually stood out. Real hustle player..very technically sound, with his pass rush moves and stuff, just not an exploder like a Mingo or Ansah and that's why teams passed on him.
But man he plays hard....

Could've been a 4th round pick. Good, solid, SOLID linebacker.
