People who think this is a bad pick strictly look at stats and don't understand the end goal. Thomas might be the best blocking tight end with the most upside outside Gesicki and Dallas 

listen i wanted the one handed linebacker or the DT who will pull a gaines adams, not some special teamer

[davos]

This is a guy with all the physical traits and the combo TE mold...just needs to be under an experience vet for a year or two...we happen to have a top-10 TE all0time here.  I see absolutely NO reason to complain about this pick.  

We've got a WR, CB, S, and now TE.  People may have mocked other ideas but man, I'm good.

Guys he is a 4th round pick, would be a heck of a steal if he plays just 30% of the snaps this year

Explain?

Not saying he can't be, but looking from afar his stats doesn't back up this statement.

Go watch his combine drills. That's when I started saying this.

As for his stats, he was the 3rd leading receiver on his team. That's pretty typical of a good TE. Indiana did have much of a passing attack or QB.

i like this pick. his floor looks to be Ed Dickson but with hands.

I  love this pick and have been beating the drum for him. Heard Kirwan / Miller interview him on Sirius and he was a really good interview. They like him a lot  and feel he has a tremendous amount of upside. 

[Chief Keek]

Looks like he has some soft hands not a bad pick.

Also says that they believe in Dashon Hall( over Chad Thomas.Duke Ejifor) and look at him as a fresh draft pick to come in at DE.

in essence Hall is basically still a rookie...

Even if so, our DE corps desperately needs another for depth and the future.

376 yards last year. 28 the year before. lolll

I don't know how he fell this far. We were able to trade back for this! Great work...am  I doing this right?!

[MHS831]

he is a late bloomer, but a perfect #2 TE because he can block.  I dont care how many yards he had at Indiana---we arent Indiana.

I wanted him in the third.

The theme this year? Give Cam weapons and fix the secondary.  thought I should explain that to you novices.
