Trojan Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I've really liked Thomas Booker for a minute, but now he's graduated from Stanford in 3.5 years with a 3.8x GPA in Econ. Hes not an edge edge, but more like a 5tech. I''m really excited for whatever team he ends up on. I don't expect him to dominate off the gun, but should continue the Stanford line of Henry Anderson into Solomon Thomas really well. Awesome person and I'll be rooting for him in the mid-rounds and hope he outperforms his draft position. One of the easier guys to root for.

I've seen his weight listed in the low 280s, as well as 300+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like mine would just be a guess, but I'd think upper 290s like 295-300 because targeting that range for the combine gives him the most flexibility to appeal to the most schemes and teams I would think. I don't think he's 280, he was like 240 in middle school supposedly, so if he's 280 now he's the very cut version of 280. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Schaffer was a UDFA and I believe the Bears had him but he did not even make the Practice squad, he was bigger and had more talented than Booker I feel and Jovan Swann a few years back actually transferred out of Stanford to Indiana and he also was more talented and he was not drafted either. Stanford used to have some very good defensive players but those days a behind them, not too many standout on Stanford to me now and not sure Booker will even be drafted, could be lucky to be a UDFA honestly. Maybe he could sneak in if a team wants a 3/4 DE but not sure that happens, even a guy like Otomewo who played well this year he is most most likely not going to be drafted and even Alonso Logan, and Henningsen probably will not be drafted either as potential 3/4 DEs. Tre Williams Arkansas RS Zachary Carter Florida RS Joshua Paschal Kentucky RS Eyioma Uwazurike Iowa State RS Scott Patchan Colorado State RS Esezi Otomewo Minnesota RS Glen Logan LSU Big Kat Bryant UCF Labryan Ray Alabama RS Mandy Alonso Virginia RS Matt Henningsen Wisconsin So will see but Booker being drafted is a long shot I feel.

lark25 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Anyone got some verifiable numbers on Thib? I want to know some #s. I dont think hes the same level freak as a Myles Garrett and doesn't look as big. Is he definitely a better athlete objectively than Hutchinson?

armsteeld Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Sam Williams 6'4 264supposedly runs 4.5 in the 40. Plays for Ole Miss with a career of 31.5 tackles for loss, 6 forced fumbles, and 22.5 sacks. He reminds me of Montez Sweat. How do you all feel about him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only scratched the surface in scouting him. But I really like what I've seen so far. I think his draft position will come down to "character concerns". I still haven't seen anything concrete about what those supposedly are though. My guess is late-1st to mid-3rd round pick. Again, it's tough to say with the "character concerns". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, it's tough to say with the "character concerns". Probably has something to do with the sexual battery charges he had against him. They were eventually dropped. I haven't seen anything else concerning character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 RS JR Cameron Thomas on San Diego State declared for the 2022 draft, makes a super deep and talented DE even more so. Not sure it was the best move for him, might fall to the late 2nd or 3rd even 4th round with how deep the class is. Love his size and activity, could play in a 3/4 of a 4/3.

That is a good comparison, that 2011 class was great especially if one looks back on it historically. But that group did not have potential #1 and #2 at the DE spot which would be special. It is a crazy deep class though especially if one includes all 4/3 DEs, 3/4 OLB types and 3/4 DEs, tons of talent and guys who had real breakout years in Ojabo, Hutchinson, Baldonado, Williams, Ebiketie, Johnson, Mafe, Cam Thomas, Enagbare, Clemons, Luketa etc. A tons of sleeper guys in the later rounds who could become very good players. Granted not all have declared and I could see some might return to school like Wooden, Harrison, Baldonado etc. And I think technically any of them could return to school if they wanted to even if they are a RS SR or true SR.

.Buzz Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Think I may have been a prisoner of the moment on Hutch after watching more and more Thibodeaux the last couple weeks. They both are deservedly top 2-3 in the class (with Neal either with them or not far behind as far as overall talents imo) but I think I may like Thibs a bit more as far as the NFL game goes.

Don't think you'd be making a bad call with either tbh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
