KRL Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 He's not getting mentioned as a possibility at #6 but if he shows that he can stand up at the Combine he could get into the conversation: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/solomon-thomas?id=2558018 Stanford runs a pro style hybrid defense so he should be familiar with the concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Do not draft conversion projects at 6, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinstar Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Draft Ramczyk at 6 or after a small trade down . Draft Foreman in the 2nd and Willis in the 3rd if he's there and insert 3 players into the rotation on game day . 2 possible starters and a short yardage specialist in foreman for that 1st year .

Sarge4Tide Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I think he'll be a good NFL player, but I think 6 is a bit high for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a guy at 6 that is projected to go in the middle or end of the 1st round and coming off a major surgery that will keep him out of the pre-draft process is exactly the kind of move you don't make. It's a desperation move. Yeah, it sucks that we draft in the top 6 in a weak OL year, but we shouldn't compound that issue by reaching for Ramczyk. If anything, we would be better off taking BPA at 6 and the hoping this kid lasts to the very end of the 1st round and we trade up to snag him. I'm not anti-Ramczyk, I'm just not a fan at the top half of the draft. Edit to add that I LOVE drafting Foreman in the second. Guy is a beast. Not nearly as gifted as Fournette, but then again I am not sure I have seen anyone as gifted at RB since Bo Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because from what I have been able to gather, while he won't participate in Combine activities, he will be ready for camp . As of this posting, this kid or Trubisky are at the top of my want list . He completes a young improving OL and Foreman is the sledge hammer we needed last year along the goal line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can land Jordan Willis in the 3rd and he shows well enough in camp, it will allow me to move Jenkins inside next to Lee and start the year with Willis and Mauldin outside .

Joejet Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 If the doctors give the green light I would be fine with him. I know its probably a bit of a reach but I believe he has a big upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisconsin OL are superb drive blockers, and this kid is a solid Pass protector along with that , Kid Played with an injured hip and waited until the season ended to fix it . Speaks to his toughness and team 1st attitude . We need players like this on the Jets, not the pay me kind . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurnleyJet Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 If we draft him at 6. I think I'd fire Bowles and Macc right away. Go draft the all World runningback!! - That is all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Really interesting discussion point actually. I know Thomas has gotten love as a 4-3 base end who can kick inside on passing downs, but I am curious to see if he kills the agility drills and gets himself in the 4-3 edge rusher conversation. Definitely an athlete, pretty productive, seems like good character. Also I know people believe edge guys who had experience playing inside during college translate well to the NFL because they tend to have better hand usage since you learn that more inside. Potentially an interesting option at six. Obviously a premium position guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
