Could be a steal if he makes the team, I expect him to be battling for a starting OLB spot though...
YES! He had a so called bad combine, but his time of 4.91 "40" was the exact same as Jarvis Jones's proday 4.91! The difference that makes no sense is that Chase improved his time at his proday to 4.7ish and 4.8ish i don't know exactly what he ran at his proday but he said he improved between 4.7-4.8 on both his attempts! Jarvis Jones never even tried or had a chance to run faster so his time of 4.91 was his time of scout record!
The popularity of Jones along with his production had him only slide a few spots from top 10 to top 18! The only reason I can figure out why Chase's fall was so much farther and so mind boggling! Is one was judged differently and more critical on one 40 time over another's 40 time! I get why Jarvis was picked at a justified spot, but what I don't get is why Chase, with the worst scout evaluation of 5th rd but logically 2nd or 3rd rd gtade, Why did he fall so far over the same situation Jarvis fell but so big of a difference of a result! It was pure PUBLIC APPROVED DISCRIMINATION "unjust media garbage that boost public's image, monetary, popularity, power, and or advantage" It was all Selfish and plain ignorant analyst that RUN GM's responsibilities and actions because of fear of PUBLIC OPINION! It was all about Analyst boosting their self esteem by giving popular negativity or positivity, but either way when it isn't TRUE or isn't REALITY it sways people to either good or bad selfish opinions! So analyst have absolutely taking the scouts job because they "any media outlet" have the control of the people's opinion whether it's good or bad we follow popular opinion and most of the time we don't even care or want to know if it is true as long as we feel right or MAINLY OTHERS THINK WE ARE RIGHT!

Probably because Jones was playing in best conference college football has ever seen while Thomas was at Yale playing against the Ivy Leaguers. I hope he's a star, but I just don't see it right now.

He had good games against UCLA, Cal, Oregon State, Arizona, USC, and Notre Dame last year; not exactly Ivy leaguers...

Teo had good games against a lot of overrated teams too.

Doesn't mean anything, because you haven't seen either of them play in the NFL...

I was referring to the Ivy league comment...

Remember Johnathan Sullivan played in the best conference in college too...

but Jones will get the benefit of the doubt because of where he played, and he deserves to. Jones dominated in the sec, Thomas didn't dominate period. He was just good.

Sullivan was at Georgia and dominated and see what happened...

Thomas being a finalist for Defensive player of the year was a fluke because he went against lesser competition?

And what's it matter, Thomas is on our team, Jones is not...

Chase Thomas actually played at Stanford which is Pac 12, not SEC, but not too shabby...

He had a tremendous game against a surging Notre Dame last season...

He's matched up and showed up against some pretty good talent since he was a Freshman which includes playing USC, Oregon among others...

And don't be surprised if he isn't one of your starting linebackers when going into the post-season...
