So where do you think Thomas is going to be picked then?

I'm not saying he won't go that high, but when everyone was naming prospects all year he rarely if ever, came up. Fournette has always been talked about as well as a few others, Thomas is only being mentioned now because of the recent media hype. Most on here act like they actually evaluate players when they're just watching Espn.

We traded Ealy and picked up Peppers. It's fairly obvious that Rivera and Co. prefer having young players with adequate veteran leadership. Extrapolating from that information, I come to the conclusion there is a DE we feel we can get in the first two rounds that can come in and rotate in immediately.

I'm not as sold on the early TE's as everyone else seems to be. I think there are a lot of play-making TE's who are ok or worse at blocking and it seems to me a blocking TE who has potential as a play-maker fits our needs better. As has been mentioned elsewhere this for me is George Kittle. However I think he is unlikely and even if not 1st Rnd they will select a TE on day one. I also worry that the 2nd TE will be misused by Shula, even if its Howard.                                                                                                                    As for DE's I think Barnett is off our radar because of his combine and pro-day which personally i see as a bit of a shame. I don't think he will fall as far as some believe but he obviously isn't nor has ever been a popular choice in many folks books. Thomas is a bit over-rated as a DE though he wouldn't be a terrible pick, and I'm even a bit skeptical about Garrett though it seems everyone has him as a nailed-on HOF-er before hes played an NFL snap. I actually think there is a bit of depth at DE in this draft and would be happy with  Basham, Tanoh, Willis or Walker. Even Hendricksen in the mid-rounds.                             So I guess i wouldn't be upset if we didn't take DE or TE in Rnd 1.

Barnett's not off our radar at all.  We met with him at the combine.  Don't believe everything/anything(?) you read on April 7.  Three years of tape didn't vanish at a meaningless pro day.

DE>TE

Not a chance with Solomon Thomas being drafted.

There is less projection with Harris. Solomon Thomas is a potential pick. He really didn't play his NFL position in college.

I sincerely hope you're right. And I agree.
