Thomas was a guy I was really keen on in that draft. Productive, versatile, Spags-y kind of guy with some inside-outside versatility.

He’s a potentially nice stand-in for Omenihu and the price is great.

There was a lot of interest in Cam Thomas in that draft from the Draft Planet regulars.

Good pick up!

It's a Veach move. And it's for a 7th. Trade a 7th for Clarence Thomas for all I care.

Better Zach Allen

that much upside? :-) We certainty could use help on the DE position.

Bunch of us loved this dude in the draft forum. I thought he was a potential 1st rounder and would’ve loved to get him in the late 2nd.

Definitely a worthwhile gamble for a 7th. He’ll probably move ahead of FAU on the depth chart and in the rotation almost immediately.

To the Watchtower!

So what happened with the Cardinals? They tried to make him a LB?
[Reply]

Interesting footnote that Chris Cabbot - Mahomes's agent - is the one who "facilitated" this deal.
[Reply]

Yeah.

He’s a 5 technique with a little ability to move inside to a 3.

He’s not an OLB, IMO.

I was thinking we talked about him alot in the draft forum. Couldn't remember the name.

Anyway, plays hard and physical which is never a bad thing.

Chiefs put BJ Thompson on NFI and Omenihu on PUP this morning, so that’s maybe the “why”
[Reply]

Just bottom line this for me -

Is he an edge setting sonofabitch, or isn't he?

I know coaches (and organizations, for that matter) by and large have an ability and tendency to outthink and outsmart themselves from time to time, but I swear the Cardinals are cursed with ownership on down that could ruin a surefire wet dream.

Am I reaching for the stars to feel like our defensive line might be pretty damned wicked come November, provided everyone heals up and is ready to roll by then?
[Reply]

Yeah, he was a favorite of a lot of folks. Looked like a small college Aiden Hutchison on tape. Really nice traits.

At the time we were pretty convinced GK was going top 15 or so. We were discussing him in a similar tier as someone like Jermaine Johnson before Johnson got crazy helium late in the draft cycle (which was evidently bullshit).

Now I’m gonna concede that we were wrong - he clearly wasn’t THAT good a prospect. But the Cardinals haven’t gotten his best out of him either. In all reality he’s probably a good 3rd round quality prospect who can be a solid rotational player.

Which, right now, is more than we can say for FAU.
