Randy Thomas
Stephen Dunn/Allsport
He is one of the more athletic lineman in this draft with an excellent size/speed ratio. He is a good overall technician and does a nice job of sustaining his blocks when he gets on the DL. He gets good separation, uses his hands well and has solid overall balance and feet. Although he is not really a power player, he plays with enough leverage and techniques to be solid in the run blocking game and at this point of his career, he's better in the run game than in pass blocking. He needs some work on techniques and while he is very athletic, he is not a dominating power guy. He almost falls into the "finesse" category. There is a nice upside here as he improves his strength and power and because of his measurables, he will excite a lot of NFL teams when they work him out in the spring.
