Rivera told Solomon Thomas that he would be the pick if he was there at 8

o no i hope Rivera isn't our talent evaluator who has the final say so

I don't think this is necessarily a big deal since I'm sure he'll be long gone by 8 anyway, but it gives us a little insight into the Panthers board. That tells me that Thomas is, rightfully, above both McCaffrey and Fournette on our board.

I don't see that on his page. Last mention of Solomon that I see is April 24th where he says that he's outside of his top 12.

I believe its strong chance that Thomas could fall to eight.  Seems like all the buzz, is around other players moving up.  Would not be shocked at all if he is there at eight

But he won't be there since the 49ers are selecting 100+ players at #2!

God I wish we could get that 2nd that drafts all the top 10 picks.

I don't think there's any reason you take Leonard over Solomon-- running back just doesn't have the weight, literally and figuratively that a DE has.

So if he's there with Leonard for the pick there's no doubt it would be Thomas---

Igo has said that the pick is Fournette over Thomas.

And somebody needs to tell Ron Rivera this his last season as the head coach for the Carolina Panthers.

Since you seem to be taking these claims as fact, I guess you're saying that Igo knows the pick order while Rivera doesn't. Makes sense if you live in bizarro world.

Honestly what is the reasoning behind a "promise". Stupid.

Personally I would be in favor of this.  I probably have said this but a quarterback hawking defensive end stud like Solomon Thomas can give us an immediate boost from day one.  I would personally enjoy watching him, Addison, Pep and CJ constantly at the QB.  Through in Short and Star you have the best defensive front in the game.

Ive heard similar things. Allen, hooker, and Thomas "may"slid out of the top ten. DE/OLBs taking their spots, Reddick, Harris, Willis, QBs doing the pushing.
