Devin Thomas
Strengths: Thomas is a quick receiver who consistently makes plays on offense. He uses his size to his advantage, runs physical routes, and makes tough catches in traffic. He gets a quick release off the line, is quick in and out of cuts, and flashes vertical speed to make big plays. He's a sure-handed receiver who adjusts well to errant throws, leaps to make acrobatic receptions, and finds soft spots within a defense. He plays with great awareness and instincts and is a capable blocker downfield.
Weaknesses: He has to run more precise routes. He tends to lack focus on intermediate routes and will occasionally drop easy passes. He started just one year at Michigan State.
NFL comparison: Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City Chiefs
I haven't seen much of Thomas -- what do you guys think of this dude?
Very unlikely he survives the first round. But if he does...
