Brandon Thomas

[deanpet21]

NFL network's Daniel Jeremiah believes four OL prospects will turn out to be immediate starters on the interior.
Those four include Clemson's Brandon Thomas, Nevada's Joel Bitonio, Colorado State's Weston Richburg and USC's Marcus Martin. The Latter two will battle for the first center position while the first two mentioned could also be selected at tackle. We believe Thomas and Bitonio have a decent chance of landing in the late first-round.

With Filo, Thomas, Bitonio, and Moses, Oline should be the target at #34. Wow, Thomas and Bitonio late first round? That means someone slips.

I hope we take a OT, but don't reach for one though

right now our top need is RT . that being said what happens if moses is gone ? do we reach? i say no you go to the next need and see where that player ranks

Thomas and Bitonio can play RT.

Thomas and Bitonio can play RT.

do you want them at 34 ?

 

[Buffalo_Nickel_1]

Yep skinsdad thomas can play guard or rt what a perfect fit

Thomas is 6'3"...I don't see him as a RT.

 

[skinsdad62]

his height isnt an issue his quickness and leverage is what matters

Serious question...I could be wrong...

Wouldn't this make him the shortest RT in football?

 

[skinsdad62]

it could but how does an o/lineman win most of his battles ?

by getting lower then his opponent

that is why polumbus fails . i think he is too tall and it hurts him

You have to have long arms to play tackle. Does he have long arms? Irrelevant how short he is...

I do agree with this statement.

Brandon Thomas Draft Profile ? NFL.com

He has very long arms but seems to lose effectiveness in space and is susceptible to the bull rush.

 

[Skin'EmAll]

I thought he was being projected to play G because he'd be a better fit there? Didn't know he played LT in college!
Great strength, his speed is a slight concern for our scheme.

 

[deanpet21]

I think he is going 2nd round.

 

[gkekoa]

I think Thomas will be a G in the NFL but will likely be the backup T as well.
