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?

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
