Olsen may retire, is Thomas the guy?

Olsen is a natural in the booth and after the sh%t show this year, I have a feeling he is probably gone. They needed to get Thomas ready to fill the role (along with Manhertz) to take over.

Thomas has flashed and meh on Manhertz. I don't think they can afford to use a pick on a TE with all the needs on this team. 

I would like to see them get Thomas ready to fill those big shoes next season. Do you all think he can do the job or just another JAG.

Yes,

Thomas was known to be raw coming in.  It was known he has rarely blocked coming in.

He's a dam good recieving TE though.  And has looked great when he's had to step in for Olsen.  His lack of blocking skills have kept him off from being in at the TE2 role.

 I would hope that whoever is running the team gives him a shot. No reason not to if Olsen is gone. 2 cheap years left and you should know what you got after his first year starting. Sign a vet in the 3-5M range who can play with/for Thomas. End the Manhertz era. 
 

   Tough question is how much can you get him on the field THIS year. If we are 5-7, do you start limiting Olsen’s snaps?

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
