Demaryius Thomas WR Georgia Tech - Page 2

TitansCJftw · 11-17-2009, 01:39 AM

i'm not really sure what all the hype about this guy is... he's 6'3" 220 something and he does nothing except run deep one on one vs 5'10" corners and catch jump balls and his seperation from the corners is predicated on the triple option that will fail when paul johnson loses chan gailey's D1 talent, i see so many calling him a first round pick but i don't see it at all and you can quote me that it wont happen there's not a chance... almost the same goes for dwyer, do i think he can produce in the nfl... absolutely its a possibility but to me any team going for him in the early rounds is reaching badly

Dwyer is 6'0" 235 with speed.

He is going in the early rounds.

JDR2882 · 11-17-2009, 11:49 PM

Agree on Jon Dwyer. Have seen a couple of his games this year and his size/speed combo is very intriguing. I like his power (even if it is inconsistent) and his ability to break arm tackles.

Dwyer is going in the 1st round. I know people have questions about him but he will be a 1st rounder.

Yep. He's the most physically talented feature back in this class. If he goes outside of the first it's a huge steal, and that's not something I usually say about RBs.

He's probably the only RB I'd use a first round pick on. No clue what he's done to generate hate as a prospect.

BamaFalcon59 · 11-18-2009, 04:03 PM

Yea.

Not to mention he is my friends cousin!

Ha.. I remember him telling me he was going to start as a true freshman, and I was like nahhhh Tashard Choice is a beast.

I mean, I was right. But still lol.

LonghornsLegend · 12-06-2009, 09:35 AM

I really didn't read through this entire thread, but am I the only one that sees alot of Anquan Boldin with him? He seems like he'll be a great YAC guy at the next level, great hands, strength, I don't care if he can run a 4.4 or not he seems like he has an NFL future and should be able to out muscle most NFL DB's.

I came away impressed the few times I've seen him.

BrabbitMcRabbit · 12-06-2009, 07:29 PM

Top 3 WR in this draft along with Bryant and Gilyard.

Nalej · 12-06-2009, 07:36 PM

I'm hoping the Pats nab him in the 2nd. Him along with B. Tate would set the WR group of the future.
He can learn under R. Moss.... scary

I agree on the Q comparison. I was going to compare him to Boldin untill I saw you do it.

adamprez2003 · 12-08-2009, 03:25 PM

i think demaryius would be a great pickup in the 3rd round. if you spend a 2nd its an average pick and if you spend a 1st its a horrible pick. 3rd round gives you the couple of years you'll need to teach him technique and it also compensates for the huge bust factor he carries. having said that this guy could be great if he can put it together at the next level. he's the carlos dunlap of receivers. really depends on how much of a gambler you have in you

just wanted to bump this and say that i stand by my comments

GoRavens · 03-20-2010, 01:25 AM

Jonathan Dwyer is not a first rounder by any means.
Spiller, Matthews, Best, Gerhart, and Hardesty are all more talented than him, & I could see him slipping to the early third.

Buc Baller12 · 04-11-2010, 12:36 AM

What is the time frame for Thomas to make a full recovery for his foot? will he be able to go for those rookie OTA's right after the draft?

If Marion Barber can go in the 4th, Jon Dwyer can definitely go later than that.

beat me to it. About to make a Boldin comparison comment

TACKLE · 04-17-2010, 11:39 AM

There are talks that a lot of his stock is dependent on his 40 time but how much should Bay-Bay's forty time effect his draft stock? He is coming off a broken foot and has not been able to put the time in speed training that the other prospects have. To expect him to come back and the same times he ran before the injury would be unfair just because of circumstance. If he runs in the low 4.5's considering his situation, I'd still be impressed.

Sort of what you're seeing with Eric Decker, they havent been able to run so you have to go off interviews and game film. I think the two situations will drop both of these guys a bit.

A Perfect Score · 04-17-2010, 12:08 PM

If I were advising Thomas right now, I'd most likely tell him not to bother running. The rumors if him running a sub 4.4 at 6'3 230, combined with some apparently excellent interviews, were enough to substantiate a significant rise in his stock to where he is almost considered a surefire first rounder at this point, and hes almost certainly leapfrogged Tate and Benn as the #2 receiver in most schemes. I think that even after the foot injury if he runs a slow 40 it will hurt his stock at this point. If it isnt broken (or in this case, is), dont try and fix it. I think running will only hurt him, but we will see.

LonghornsLegend · 04-17-2010, 12:39 PM

Exactly, running at this point is only going to hurt him. He's going in the 1st round as it is right now. Best thing Crabtree did last off-season was not run the 40 yard dash and not have people over analyze his straight line speed.

Wooooah slow down there. Dwyer in the first round? I think he's a third rounder at best. Id be more shocked to see him go round 1 then I would be to see him go on day 3.

the_dark_knight · 04-17-2010, 12:47 PM

These Dwyer comments are very old, yet still funny

Babylon · 04-17-2010, 01:03 PM

From game film Thomas looks like a mid 4.5 guy to me which isnt bad for his size. Running now wouldnt be a wise move.

Georgia Tech WR Demaryius Thomas (foot) is reportedly working out for Rams scouts on Sunday.

It appears Thomas will not hold a Pro Day-style workout as originally reported by ESPN's Chris Mortensen, but that he is healthy enough to go through drills. Thomas, who broke his foot before the Combine, may be on St. Louis' radar with the No. 33 overall pick should he fall out of the first round.
