For me that would mean Becton and Wirfs have gone. And in that scenario I’m not sure I’d be quite as excited about picking Thomas, even though he’d probably be a solid player.

And I think seeing two or more OTs going in the top-eight probably means some good players will be on the board at other positions.

Or do you feel the top-four OTs are all worth taking at nine?

I like Wills, Wirfs, Becton, and Thomas enough to take at 9 in that order now.  Being that either okudah or brown did not fall I would pick one yes.

I like Thomas. My only concern is that I didn't get to see enough out of him in pass protection at Georgia. No fault of his own. It's just the way the Bulldogs play football on offense. Fromm didn't do him any favors neither with his inconsistencies last year from the pocket. 

I just think he'll end up being another Eugene Monroe. Not terrible. But not elite. And I don't know if he's someone I would want with the 9th overall pick. I would take Kinlaw before I took Thomas. I would even consider taking the best WR prospect on the board over Thomas with that selection. 

I think we could get a decent LT like Austin Jackson out of USC with the 20th pick or Prince Tega Wanogho in RD2. I'll throw this out there too. Since I do watch a lot of Georgia games. I wouldn't be opposed to them taking Isaiah Wilson out of Georgia in RD2 or RD3 to play RT. And then allow Robinson and Taylor to duke it out over the LT position during training camp. Loser takes RT back or RG depending on where Wilson is at as a rookie in this scenario.
