Dallas Thomas
The Rams have 2 first round draft picks in 2013. One apparent need is for an elite wide receiver. Another need is to continue to beef up the offensive line and see what QB Sam Bradford can really do. If we follow the latter, then a question could be should the Rams draft Tennessee’s OT Dallas Thomas? Read this quote from FFToolbox’s Matt de Lima
“Thomas is very flexible and bends well in order to establish leverage and maintain position. A really high ceiling pass blocker who is lean enough to move well in open space, yet has the frame to bulk up a little if necessary. Great get-up off the line and he’ll need that due to a lack of strength in his lower body. Must learn to stay low and drive from his butt and up to his core then through his hands. Tends to lean when he gets tired and needs to bring more consistent effort.”
Almost sounds like he’s not big and strong enough. What do you think Rams fans?
(Of course at 6’5″ and 305 lbs you’d think that wouldn’t be an issue… lol)
I like the 2 OTs from Texas A&M, or the OG from Bama in the first round. I wouldn’t look at a guy who is depending on his athleticism to get drafted in the first 2 rounds.
The OT from Michigan is very good, but unlikely he’d be there by the time the Rams draft. Most likely he’s a top-5 pick. Probably the best tackle in the draft.
No way not n first round and he was moved to guard this year rated 3 best guard in the draft ! U have. The 2 tackles from A&M. The OT from Mich and Eric Fischer from central Mich plusChance Warmack I would take take all before Dallas Thomas and YES. One of these guys will still be there when Rams pick at 16
