Quick Take:
Converted basketball player who had exactly one start in football, while starting 4 years in basketball at Portland State. Intriguing prospect who played int he East/West Shrine game and turned heads, getting him added to many draft boards. Exceptionally raw, he has a natural, instinctual way of catching and running after the catch that begs for development. Needs to continue developing strength, but overall is a top notch developmental candidate.
Where He Goes in the Draft:
Top of the 5th round.
What is Denver's Interest In Him?
Medium.
Denver is as intrigued by Thomas as anyone, but don't expect them to overdraft this player. If anything, they might just be keeping him in mind for one of their 6th round picks, or even the possibility of tracking him in UDFA.

[Note: All players in the table are ranked by overall grade within their round grouping, however, the round groupings are based on where this player will likely be drafted based on where teams are currently selecting in the draft. Therefore a player is ranked within a group by his level of ability, but players in nearby groupings may have higher or lower actual grades, despite being in a different group. Confusing enough for you? --Styg]
