Signing Kevin Riddick & Chase Thomas is like getting 2 extra draft choices

Kevin Riddick 5th ranked ILB and carried a 4-5 round grade
Chase Thomas had 3-4 round grade
Thomas ran slow at the Combine, in the 4.9 range. But I really like this kid and predicted he would be our 6th round pick.

Agreed. Yet another year where an UDFA will make the team.

Both are pretty good at penetrating in the backfield. Same for Rufus and Martin.
Hopefully at least one will be able to contribute right away. Thomas has lots of OLB experience and Riddick did well in that spot last season.

Were all the guys above them and closely behind them drafted? If so, then it's like having extra draft picks.

True but every team saying the same thing

When I kept telling everyone we could wait until the third or fourth round to draft an OLB, Thomas was one of the guys I was talking about lol. I think Thomas and Reddick are great gets.

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.

I admittedly didn't know much about these two guys, but from what I've seen from their highlight clips (I know that doesn't tell the whole story), the plays they make are a result of good instincts and taking excellent angles. Both seem to have solid tackling technique.

Thomas had 7.5 sacks this season rushing off the edge... He rushed on only 20% of his snaps. That's some damn great productivity for someone who was undrafted.

frick yes!
