He could be his perceived upside could have him gone a little earlier.

Quote:Yeah, the knock on McCaffrey is, what exactly?   I can't see any deficiency there.   I don't know why he's so underrated.   I'm judging not so much on Combine results as his actual play, where I see speed, elusiveness, good hands, just about everything you'd want in a modern RB.   He's a great return guy, too. 

 

He's just mysteriously underrated in my opinion.   I can't understand why people would rate him at the bottom of the first round while Dalvin Cook is mocked at the top of the first round.  What is the difference between those two?   I just don't get it. 

 

Watch these highlights of his Rose Bowl game against Iowa and tell me this doesn't absolutely blow your doors off.

Go to the 4:56 mark and check out that move.  Why is this guy so underrated?  
 

 

Sheer greatness! ...and this is just one game.


 

I didn't realize he was such a great return guy as well.

Its because he's white. Racial stereotypes are still alive and well.

It's interesting to me because it seems like a lot of scouts think of Thomas as a tweener and will go in the first round but not super early.

 

http://www.cincyjungle.com/2017/3/3/1479...op-10-pick

 

Which makes me wonder how high he is on our board. If the hype around Fournette, Lattimore or Jamal Adams is real then what are the chances we take Thomas at 4? Is Thomas more of a "sure thing" than those guys? What is Coughlin's record of drafting lighter edge rushers?

I'm hoping Thomas has a good 3 cone. I'd be surprised at this point if it wasn't good.

He better hope he gets a good 3-cone. Otherwise KYJaggy and the rest of the NFL experts will take him off their boards.
