Brian Thomas Jr.
Overview
Presents an appealing combination of size, length and speed with experience working inside and outside. Thomas will occasionally go through the motions as a route-runner, but the bend, athleticism and speed needed to get better are all in the toolbox. He’s elusive against press and can uncover quickly underneath, but he still needs to improve intermediate routes and play a little more physically when crowded to become well-rounded. Thomas rarely has issues generating separation deep and could be counted on as an NFL team’s designated deep guy early in his career. Thomas is unpolished but has projectable talent to become a WR1/2 in time.
Strengths
Good job of steering clear of press hands during his release.
Short-area shake helps uncover for quick hitters underneath.
Able to bend hips and sit in the chair at route breaks.
Straight-line speed takes him into top position on go routes.
Outstanding ball-tracker who can bring it in over his shoulder.
Length and burst to run down and secure potential overthrows.
Led nation with 17 receiving scores at a pace of one every four catches.
Weaknesses
Needs to pick up his route pace and salesmanship as a pro.
Will battle occasional focus drops.
Can avoid catch contact by working back to the throw.
Fast but possesses average run-after-catch talent.
Might need to ramp up physicality against clingy coverage.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

I know, I was laughing my ass off!!!! Almost woke my wife up, and definitely pissed off the cat. It was like the Eagles contracted out their draft room to The Men in Black.Originally posted by red View Posteagles war room

Still 3 really nice players on board who would be great fits in GB imo . But DeJean just seems like a Packer guyTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER
