Overview
Thomas made a surprising decision to forgo his senior year and enter the NFL Draft following a 2012 season in which he led Oregon to a Rose Bowl victory. Only a year removed from appearing in the national championship game, Thomas had an extremely productive year. Has some intriguing aspects to his game and with a strong pre-draft process could have the ability to be taken as a flier in the late rounds.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Thomas has technical issues in his throwing motion that will need to be addressed for him to stand a chance at the next level. Although he releases the ball at a nice high point, he has a lot of wasted motions that delay the timing of routes. Often made easy, dump-off throws within Oregon's offense and wasn't relied upon to put the ball in tight spots. Not the open-field athlete that his pocket movements might suggest. Need to develop a quicker release.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
