I like Thomas. Although his agility scores turn me off. By comparison (pro day embellished) here is James Carpenter's
Shuttle: 4.75
3 Cone: 7.56
10 yd: 1.81
Thomas is right around those numbers too. Slightly better in the 10 yd (combine official 1.78). Barely off in the shuttle. 3 cone significantly off.
I like Thomas more than Carpenter although as prospects, they were very similar. Thomas moves significantly more smoothly. Carpenter labors to move.
Overall, Thomas' testing was pretty bottom of the pack. Three cone at 15th of 19 recorded tests. 13th out 19 at the shuttle. On the shuttle, the difference between his score and the worst recorded was only .17 off. Grouped in a small handful in the 4.8 range. The top 10 scores were all below 4.7.
On the 3 cone, he is in a tight grouping (mostly the same guys) between 8.13 and 8.15. The next slowest score before Thomas was 7.93. The top 10 prospects all ran under 7.8.
His scores really were underwhelming for me. For example, Jack Mehwort -- considered a rather unathletic/cumbersome OT from OSU -- scored significantly better -- over .20 on both metrics.
I expected better from Thomas in this regard. These metrics actually are more indicative for ZBS prospects than they would be for other schemes. It'll be worth watching his pro day scores as he could have just run/prepared poorly. In terms of testing he is definitely in the bottom of the group -- really smack in the middle of the day 3 'who the heck is that' group of prospects. Greg Robinson being the clear exception. His agility scores were not good.
I'd put a 4th round grade on him at the very highest. And that's only because I liked most of his tape. If we're talking about a moldable/development prospect Thomas really killed that notion this weekend.
