Quote:Does, he's shown he's better than 7th round talent. Oh well agree to disagree.

 

Even though the deals were separated, I think you have to look at them together.  The real deal here was Albert for Thomas with the sweetener for the Jags being getting a 7th round pick from 2018 moved into 2017.

 

Even though Thomas is younger, his lack of production the past two years seriously reduced his value from when he signed here as a free agent.  Also, when I watched him play live at the stadium for the first time two years ago, I was completely underwhelmed based on my expectations for him when he arrived. It's clear to me that his production in Denver was more a product of being the beneficiary of working with Manning than a reflection of his own abilities.
