I really hope Thomas is healthy, ready to go, and kicks butt this year. That being said, some things Loomis said give me concern. Specifically...

“ His progress hopefully is going well, and the reports are that it's been going well. ”

Now, when the GM uses the terms “hopefully” and “reports are” it sounds like it could be dicey. Is there doubt because there is a lack of communication again? Or is this just the simple caution that goes along with the rehab of any injury? Hopefully it is the latter. I realize there are differences in the two players’ situations, yet it’s hard to not be curious when one compares the updates and videos of the progress we see Winston making with the lack of info out there about Thomas’ injury. Just an observation.

Reports like this is why I continue to beat the drum on drafting a WR in Rd1.

Even when Mike returns, we really just don't know he'll perform post surgery. Ankle injuries are super tricky.

I agree. Compounding the Problem is the team is currently facing going into the season with no true starting WR in Thomas isn’t ready, no true starting RB with Kamara’s situation and no true starting TE with the Fish’s progression so far. I could see taking high picks on any of those spots TBH. If Alabama’s RB slips to the second round I’d consider grabbing him.
