6. Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford

Game: Sun Bowl (vs. North Carolina), 2 p.m., CBS
Thomas is a prototypical NFL five-technique, with quickness and enough strength to play vs. guards and tackles at the next level. Thomas leads the team with 13 tackles for loss and seven sacks. North Carolina has a few pro-caliber linemen, including right tackle Jon Heck, so scouts will be watching those matchups throughout the Sun Bowl to see who wins.

Don't look now, but Derek Barnett is showing out too.

 

I still like him over Thomas. Thomas was unreal today and I think he has the potential to be a good pro, but I think Barnett has the chance to be a dominant edge rusher. I don't think that's what Thomas is. I think he's a really good player who will be really stout against the run and be able to rush the passer, but he's not a guy that's gonna scare opposing NFL offenses IMO. I wouldn't take him in the top 10. I'd take Barnett in the top 10.

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
