I put this in the OT thread but im gonna make a separate thread for Thomas
If Brown, Okudah, and Simmons is off the board when we pick and Dave decides to go OT instead of taking Kinlaw, Im starting to think Andrew Thomas will be the pick. It just makes to much sense imo if you look back on the history of the type of player he likes early. He likes players with multiple years of success at bigger colleges. Thomas was highly recruited out of High School and made Freshman All American playing in the SEC, made First team All American in 2018 and unanimous All American this past year all playing in the best conference going against the best comp and he done it all at LT. When you look at his combine numbers he had better numbers than Ronnie Stanley in pretty much every category, 20 yard, 3 cone etc. who has turned into an All Pro tackle and went 6th overall. I do like Becton and his size but the more you look at Thomas I think he might be the best prospect if Dave wants a LT. Between Wills, Wirfs, Becton, and Thomas, Thomas might be the safest pick if he wants an upgrade at LT this year and also offers a high ceiling in the future. Thomas will be able to help in the run game as well as the pass game and here is a good article on Thomas and his versatility. He aslo has a better vert, 3 cone, and 20 yard than David Bakhtiari.

I dont think his ceiling is as high as Becton but he definitely has a higher floor and also a very high ceiling. He could be that safe pick if Dave and Doug wants to upgrade the LT position to help Minshew.
