The NFL Draft is just over two weeks away, and Solomon Thomas is trending in the right direction as the big day pulls into view.
Even a cursory look at any mock draft shows you that Thomas is one of the most highly coveted prospects in this draft class, and while Myles Garrett seems like a lock to go first overall, Thomas might be the next best sure thing.
At CBS Sports, Dane Brugler predicts that the 49ers will take Thomas with the 2nd overall pick, highlighting General Manager John Lynch’s Stanford background as a connection between the player and franchise:
Yes, there is the Stanford connection with general manager John Lynch, but more importantly, Thomas is an excellent football player who adds immediate pass rush help on the defensive line.
