This kid might not be any better than McCluster, but he only cost us a 4th round pick and his salary will be under 500k.
If that were true of McCluster, I would have never hated him. |

If Thomas provides 50% of what Dex did last year, as a 4th round pick, it was a good pick. If he matches or even exceeds Dex's production, it was a home run IMO. I wasn't a big Dex fan but I think a lot of people here grossly undersold his contribution to the passing offense last year. |

No No No . It's not about where they were drafted. It's about production period! This guy had better out perform McCluster or we have gone backwards ! |

I guess it depends on how much stock you put in the combine. He pretty much tanked it. I don't care as much about 40 time. I don't think you want him to be a pure straight line runner. But I'd expect a guy like this to at least crush the agility drills.
But it's worth a shot. Dex ended up being a really solid possession receiver. He wasn't the kind of catch and run guy we thought he would be. Thomas could be. But again, have to assume the combine wasn't a fluke. |

They listed DAT as a RB. Hope he can play in the slot

DAT is way more athletic, elusive, quick, fast, everything and all the above than Dex. Dex's build made people look at him and think wow he's probably a ninja lightning bug. Wrong. His hips are tight as **** which is odd for a guy of his stature. And the guy has as much athletic ability as the above average weekend warrior you see at the YMCA playing a pickup game. Dex never really was an impressive athlete, or for that matter, football player. He wasn't blessed with the gifts that DAT has. He's gonna be great for us.

DAT is a homerun hitter every time he touches the ball.
McCluster would spend tons of energy running east and west.
