hi

Does he count as a WR?

Sweet

Not a QB! **** this team! I'm a bundle of sticks./Inmem

Why?

crappy pick is crappy

McCluster clone.. WHY GOD WHY??????

You just watch, he's explosive!

I like it

I like it. Replaces McBuster. I know the kid from the CFL does the same but I watched Thomas a lot and look out when he gets in the open field

Another McCluster-****

Might have been the only guy to answer his phone

This is the first pick I'm unhappy with. I don't like this type of gadget player.

This is why they are waiting until 2015...

I just hope Aaron Murray lasts til next pick.

I know we're gonna draft him if he's there.

I can feel it. Reid loves the kid.

He'll succeed in this league. He's gonna be groomed to take over Chase's spot when his contract is up or if he's traded.

Would trading up and giving up one of our 6's for Telvin Smith make sense?

Theres a lot to like in this breakdown...

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profil...mas?id=2543638

I am thinking David Fales

That catch at 2:24 it pretty impressive.

They're going to use him as a WR? Hmmm... that could work...

I like the pick. He brings a different type of explosiveness that mccluster didn't have

Yeah, I'm not impressed with this pick

His official 40 time at the combine was 4.5. Fix original post plz.

Is he suppose to be our DeSean?

You know McCluster and Thomas are not actually the same person.


Love this pick. KR/PR/RB/WR. Speed and juke. Sproles..

I liked McCluster, so this pick is so so. I still think we should have went OL or secondary.

I LOOOOOVE this pick. My family is from Oregon and I've watched this kid play a ton. He plays much faster than the 4.5 he ran. Had he run a 4.3, he would have been a second round pick.

I like this pick!

He played in Snoop Dogs youth football league so the street cred is there.

Id rather them just develop Bray. Did you forget what Bray looked like in camp and preseason games

Love this pick. Watched every one of his games. You hold your breath when he has the ball.

Rep.

They're both small, quick, and black = same person.

Except the whole "can't catch" thing...

Thomas has great hands. Will make a great multi purpose guy and slot receiver. Great pick!

Speed kills. I love this pick.

That says a lot. McBuster fell down when the wind blew. I would have been OK as well with OL but Thomas could add something we haven't seen before, similar to Dante Hall as a return guy but also a slot or out of the backfield receiver.

This dude is a baller.

The McCluster comparisons are stupid. McCluster wishes he was as fast Thomas. Thomas has way more stop and go and can actually make people miss, with hands just as good.

You guys are bitching about a 4th round draft pick that's an electrifying return man and gadget player.

McCluster wasn't a bad player anyway. He was a contributing gadget player, and i think this guy will be even better...and he wasn't a reach.

De'anthony Thomas is going to be one hell of a weapon for Reid. Those underneath crossing routes that McCluster took for 7-9 yard gains? Those are going to turn into 10-15 yards gains and a real chance at turning into TDs. McCluster has nowhere near the straight line game speed that Thomas has.

Catching balls in the flat

Yeah but how's his spin move?

5'8 versus 5'9, both played RB/WR tweener in college, both ran slow ass 40 yard times especially for their height 4.5 versus 4.58. Both are primarily seen as PRs than anything else and both are supposedly more "quick" than "fast." How is that a stupid comparison? They're virtually identical.

Lol

Black Mamba.

I love this pick.

This guy has GREAT hands. DMC could never do this shit.

Goodbye, Cyrus Gray. You should have caught that dump off pass against Indy. We hardly knew ye. You too, Joe McKnight.

The only thing they have in comparison is their size and their role.

Their game is completely different. Thomas has far more explosivness. Thomas was running in the 4.3's at his Pro Day.

Watch the dude play. He's a legit home run threat.

McCluster sure as hell couldn't do this either. This kid has wheels.

http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/b...nyTHomasTD.gif

This is exactly right. The 4th round or later is a great place to get your gadget offensive weapons not 36th overall like McCluster.

This was the perfect value/need pick. Could end up being the steal of the draft if he stays healthy. I love this pick.

gotta find a gif of that return....the one where he fielded the ball off a hop, went backwards and then took it to the house.

That play alone shows why he's not McCluster.

Great pick. Playmaker.

LMAO

Sexy pick indeed

Playmaker

He looks so patient out there, almost Priest Holmes-esque. He follows his blocks and is smart about his running lanes.

Anybody else see that?

Yep, still stuck with our bargain bin hand me down QB.

Yup. Even if those guys he's outrunning only run legitimate 4.5s-4.7s, that's still damn impressive how easily he outran their angles on that play.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG PLEASE BAN THIS GUY

Yup. Instinctively, he's great and not just entirely dependent on his speed like Dri Archer is. Thomas is smart about when to turn it on and how to set people up. If he didn't get dinged up in his senior year, Thomas would be a much higher pick.

That threw a 3:1 TD/INT ration during the regular season and scored 44 points in a playoff game minus his best weapon.

Yeah, sucks to be us.

When you draft a player in the 4th round, turn on his highlight film and it's literally 7 minutes of him taking it to the house play after play after play, then it's ok to feel good about the pick.

His highlight video is seriously 7 straight minutes of hitting home runs.

He's a great gadget player taken where a great gadget player should be taken.

Or that dipshit who popped off first.

David Yankey is still around as is Antonio Richardson. You have to think that we're looking at one of those two if they are there at our next pick.

Yup.:thumb:

ROFL

At leas this guy doesn't ALWAYS fall down when hit. Just most of the time.

:thumb: We all want the Chiefs to be a great team. We just have different opinions on how that could be accomplished.

FLASH FLOOD WARNING

DAVE TOUB CUM WAVES ARE TAKING OUT HOUSES

TAKE COVER IMMEDIATELY

There's too much talent left in the draft for us to spend a 4th rounder on a special teamer who isn't going to get any significant touches with the offense.

Why would he not get significant touches?

I bet we run some split back formations out there with Charles and Thomas. In fact, I guarantee Andy will run that likely every game. Andy loves him some RBs that can catch and can fly.

Well I'm exceptionally disappointed considering Pierre was still on the ****ing board. HB really isn't a NEED right now...

I met this guy the other day, he's tiny

You nailed it my man. Some people can't take criticism. I don't disagree with everything we do, I would have done things differently, but I'm no coach.
