Report: At least 8 teams had Georgia's Andrew Thomas rated as the No. 1 tackle in 2020 NFL Draft class
Georgia OL Andrew Thomas was the first offensive lineman taken in the 2020 NFL Draft, going to the New York Giants with the No. 4 overall pick.
The Giants reportedly wanted to trade down, but couldn’t find a trade partner willing to offer enough.
If the Giants really like Thomas, it’s a good thing they didn’t trade down. According to NJ Advance Media, at least 8 NFL teams had Thomas rated as the No. 1 offensive tackle in the draft class:
At least eight teams had Thomas ranked as their top offensive tackle, NJ Advance Media learned in recent weeks, so the Giants believed they had to grab him with the fourth pick.
The Giants spent much of last week frantically trying to trade down, according to multiple executives and a current general manager, but a market for the No. 4 pick never developed. If the Giants believed Thomas would still be there after moving down, it might have been a mistake: The Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Chargers, Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers had Thomas as the top tackle on their draft boards, according to several NFL scouts and executives.
How will Thomas fare as a rookie? He has perhaps the most NFL-ready profile of anyone in the draft class, so we’ll see if he can start from Day 1.
“… but couldn’t find a trade partner willing to offer enough.”
Why do we always come up short?
The line that nottttttTrudawg has heard from every woman
And the answer is = ‘Why do we always come up short?”
Jesus H, he is back. The one they call TruCuck. I was wondering where you were. What’s wrong, did you run out of UTjr/BYU footage to watch? Or are you a techie? Hell I can’t even remember anymore.
Your troll comment doesn’t even make sense. He was fourth and first tackle taken. Your stupid.
*Ur stupid
fyp
8 teams had him rated #1. This fact should tell us just how useless all the mock drafts are. Every article on this site gave at least 2 other tackles the better grades. Many of the articles didn’t even list him. Good for him and good luck.
Definitely an imperfect science. Sporting News reviewed all the Mocks. The best was Peter King with 8 correct picks. He had Thomas 2nd. Most pundits had five or six correct. That’s with Burrows being a no brainer.
It’s called post-Combine hype and it’s stupid.
There are 32 teams, so up to 24 teams did not have him as the top tackle. I don’t really get your point. Mocks are nothing but guesses that people can talk about.
I love seeing some O-linemen getting drafted high. Great job by him on making it to the NFL.
