I'm no scout either and I do like Thomas. But I just don't see the same arm strength and accuracy on the deep ball and he doesn't have quick feet in the pocket like Bateman does. He also has a bit of a sidearm delivery which is OK but I'd like to see more of a conventional release. I think the spread offense helps him out a lot with him being 6"5, kinda like with Tannehill at a&m. IMO Conner Mitch's film is a little better than Thomas'

The thing about Thomas to me is he understands already how to read defenses and move defenders with his eyes and he shows you that on film although reading sec defenses and highschool defenses are entirely different worlds I would admit he still has a good base I agree he could work on his accuracy but I think his arm strength is fine. It's not the strongest but that tends to be way overrated in myopinion. Footwork is coachable but his size isn't. Looks to me like a future first rounder but again that's just me
