MrOaktown_56 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Just now, NYRaider said: Yeah Key has never put it all together and I'd look to add another speed rusher like Quincy Roche to replace him. But I think he's also a guy that could be coached up to be a decent rotational piece if we don't. I'm unsure if we still consider first round edge. I'm still thinking about Jeremiah Owosu-Koramoah, even though he's a LB because he can play as a psuedo slot/safety. If not safety and tackle are looking tempting for sure from a needs perspective.

Yeah I think we probably go FS/OT in the first two rounds in some order. Teven Jenkins/Jaylen Mayfield/Trevon Moehrig at #17 and then either OT or FS at #48 depending on who we take in the 1st.

RaidersAreOne Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 I remember really liking Thomas coming out so went back and looked at some college highlights. Yeeeesh he was a freak back then. He looked so fast for a guy that big. I hope we can make something of him because he had so much potential years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the thing I didn't like Solomon Thomas when he was coming out but that's because the scouts kept projecting him as a defensive end and I thought he was way too oversized for that(Which he was). But when I found out today is that 3T is actually what got him recognized in college in the first place.All of a sudden he has the potential to be a steal. It will be very interesting to see the defensive tackle competition between him David Irving and whoever we draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjon1990 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Favorite signing so far. I always felt like he got stuck with a short stick in SF. Armstead, Buckner, Lynch, Ford, etc. They always seemed to be drafting or signing guys in roles Thomas would've had a chance to grow into. Then he got hurt. Safe to say, he could be the quintessential "untapped" potential type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolni Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hopefully that 5M is incentive heavy. Could be a major get, if he thrives at 3T, but could be a total miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He theoretically is what I like about Malik hooker but like the defensive line version. he has the potential to win the job but he’s also undersized so it’ll be interesting to see what happens with him.

G Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Lindy's Pro Football 2019 preview said this...'Had only 1 sack last year amid his mental-health advocacy after sister's suicide.' So he obviously was not in the right mental condition and also had some BEAST'S ahead of him. I wanted to kick the tires so lets see what we've got.

agarcia34 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 My thoughts is he played on a defensive line that was so much more talented and didn't do anything. Maybe a change of scenery will help him, but he would be a guy that wont make the final roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very true. Maybe he surprises, but I think hes still the long shot to make this team over guys like Irving and Hurst and Jefferson. Only so many spots.

JarrodR86 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I’d wager Solomon makes the team, barring some unforeseen setback in ACL recovery which apparently he’s ahead of schedule.. quality depth is something we haven’t had an there’s a reason why he was signed on day 3 of free agency and not after weeks and visits around the league.
