I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

From what I've seen in videos, and from what I've read in dozens and dozens of articles so far, how in the world did this cat slip to the 2nd round?

He has stud written all over him.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

yeah he definitely does, and the biggest thing is his drive to be great. ill be honest- had no idea who he was prior to draft

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

He looks to have all the tools to be great

He catches well, has tenacity when running after the catch and most of all is a self motivator

I read earlier that he ran a lap without being told to because he made a mistake in a drill.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

I'm impressed. Let's hope he makes it through camp healthy. Treadwell who?

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

He wasn't putting up huge numbers at Ohio State. He didn't have the best pocket passers to get him the ball either. Seems to be a steal just like Jarvis Landry was for the Dolphins.

I wanted us to draft Landry so bad... :apu:

You and me both. I wanted pretty much everybody coming out of LSU.

SP is allergic to LSU players of late...

But we got Cooks.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

+1. I think Michael has the potential to become a complete NFL WR.

He kind of reminds me of Dez Bryant ... fearless, soft hands, strong & does not shy away from catching in traffic.

Without the bad attitude.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

He didn't put up big numbers, but he did the frog-n-fly thing with almost everything thrown his way. Watched a lot of Buckeye football last year and for a while, his name around here was, "Howdy Dodat?" He'll be a fun one to watch this coming season.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

I'm no college football expert by any stretch but from what I read about Thomas, the reason he didn't have the big numbers other receivers had was because of the run first offense he was in at Ohio State.

Now that he's in a pass first offense maybe he'll put up those amazing numbers he couldn't get in college. If he can, I think he'll be the perfect compliment to Cooks' speed and Snead's clutch grabs. We can hope.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

That's a good point, didn't Demaryius Thomas play in a run first offense at Georgia Tech?

Then when denver signed Peyton Manning his stats shot through the roof.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

Michael Thomas is out to prove that the OSU goofy QB system over the past few years hurt his play.

so far so good

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

Might take a chance and get the jersey while it's cheap.
Sounds and looks like he's a lock.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

And project cornerback SBJ in the 2nd instead of Landry

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

Payton hates LSU and I have no idea why

Remember the first and last LSU player he drafted? Al Woods, Defensive tackle in the 6th round

He cut him before Preseason ended and now Woods plays on a pretty decent Defensive Line for the Titans.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

Trade him now why his stock is high, lol.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

Yea. We took Stanley Jean Baptiste when Landry was available. Thomas didn't run a sensational 40. I hope he lives up to the hype. I believe the Saints have more depth at WR than they've possibly ever had. Gonna be great to watch them battle for roster spots. I am pulling for the WR who benched 225 27 times. He's probably too slow but I'm hoping he's the next Edelman.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

Michael Thomas is gonna' be "The Man".

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

Baptiste vs Landry.....

Stanley Jean Baptiste
6′ 3″ Weight: 220 lbs Current team: Seattle Seahawks

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

You're thinking back to the olden days. Urban has the Bucks throwing like crazy these days. They just hiccuped last year with a new, mediocre OC and some dumbass two QB confusion. I'm thinking he would've totally outclassed Treadwell had he the misfortune to have ended up at Ole Miss. Instead, we got lucky.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

This is just wrong, Forever! You gonna clean that up?


I'm talking' about your mentioning SJB of course.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

Sorry... I couldn't hold it together. :annoy: There is only one thing worse that drafting Baptiste and that is not drafting Landry.

Re: I'm surprised about Michael Thomas
 

No one named Stanley is gonna make it in the NFL. Add Jean Baptiste to that and it's a no-brainer.
