WR Draft Class - Thomas Jr
Posted on 11/23/23 at 1:58 pm

I’ve been reading some of the predictions and several of these have him around 14th best in this class. Trying to take off my P&G glasses, and admittedly a Thomas fan, I just can’t see him that far down.
For example, I believe both him and Ricky Pearsal (Pearsal has zero help and has almost 1000 yards) are going to go higher than predicted. Some are saying that Daniels and Nabers are the reason why Thomas is that good. This sounds awfully like Jefferson and Chase.
What say you on tRant? Does he go in the top 10 WR?
The combine with make and break a lot of these guys and I believe Thomas will win best standing leap and broad jump. He will also run a 4.4 40. He covers a lot of ground with his strides and is strong.

He will be a top 5 WR
Posted on 11/23/23 at 2:03 pm to Tiger1988
I’d love for him to be convinced to stay
Posted on 11/23/23 at 2:04 pm to Tiger1988
He’s a top 20 pick, probably 4th WR off the board

Yes, easily. Could go anywhere between WR4-WR8.

The question holding him back would be if he's a WR1 in the NFL.

Not to hijack this thread but I think BTJ will have a solid NFL career. The one I’m most interested in is Diggs. The blitz pickups he’s made is something that NFL teams look for and he has some burst and wiggle that can keep him around in the NFL for some time

I saw a mock today that had Thomas in the late first round. Someone at Yahoo, I think.

Alot of new mock drafts have him going in the 1st round.

At worst he’s the 5th WR off the board.
Posted on 11/23/23 at 8:22 pm to Tiger1988
He is really good from an NFL perspective.
Posted on 11/23/23 at 8:26 pm to Tiger1988
NFL loves 6’4” WR with speed. BTJ will be 1/2 round pick.
Posted on 11/23/23 at 8:40 pm to Tiger1988
I've seen him mocked in the late first round by two different places, but I've also seen him go somewhere in the 2nd round. Even if he isn't a first round guy, I don't believe for a second he falls outside the top 2 rounds. I've seen him mocked to the Eagles and Chiefs as late first round pickups.

My only knock on Thomas is it seems he’s not necessarily a natural catcher. I feel like he bobbles then secures a lot. It stands out to me in comparison to Malik

His combine will shock people in the spring. Couple that with his stats, he’ll go top 4-7 WR.

He may run faster than that. He hit some insane speed (22-23 mph) on the 85-yard JD TD run against Florida

He’s a very good WR, yards after the catch, secures the ball well, finds an open zone, big body, great speed, doesn’t mind blocking. Too many good things. An NFL team is going to love this kid.

Part of Thomas' drawback is that he is used as a deep threat, mostly as compared to Nabers who will take an 8 yard pass over the middle and then race for another 12....or more.
When he was in HS Thomas used to do what Nabers does; take a short pass usually on the edge and weave his way into open field

If he runs a 4.4 he’s going top 20
