A player-by-player breakdown

Former Southern Miss receiver Mike Thomas has been hailed as one of the most productive receivers chosen in the entire NFL Draft this past weekend. But you would not have known if you looked at his draft position.

Thomas was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the sixth round with the 190th pick.

Thomas was rated much higher than when he was drafted by pundits, as most expected him to get drafted anywhere between the second and fifth round range.
