NFL Events: Draft Player Profiles - Devin Thomas

Bugs & Cranks found this 4/26/2008 on www.nfl.com [flag]

Overview Overview Pound-for-pound, Thomas is one of the strongest receivers in college football. A well-built athlete with massive upper body muscle tone, Thomas not only has the strength to power through arm tackles, but also displays blazing quickness. He succeeded in a variety of roles for the Wolverines since the arrival of new head coach Mark Dantonio, who unearthed the junior's talents ... [link]

VIDEO: Scary Moment Saturday Afternoon
Published 4/26/2008 by David Chalk at Bugs & Cranks
... My Redskins have selected Michigan State wideout Devin Thomas with their first pick (#34 overall). Seems like a solid pick, although I can’t understand why dude doesn’t want anyone to know he’s got Prince’s Purple Rain on his ipod. ...

Redskins Top Pick: Devin Thomas
Published 4/27/2008 by Ben Folsom at The Curly R: A Washington Redskins Blog
Big receiver: check It came down to the wire and the Redskins traded their number 21 overall pick to the Falcons for both the Falcons second round picks and their fourth round pick, so number 34 (third in the second round) was their first pick. With that pick the Redskins selected Michigan State receiver Devin Thomas. From nfl.com's profile: Height: 6' 2" (awsum) Weight: 215 lbs Pros: great build, long limbs, good balance, fights for the ball after contact, breakaway speed, a leaper, quick off ...

NFL Rookie Prop Bets Are Out

... has just 18-1 odds at winning the award, behind even 2nd round draft choice Devin Thomas who is at 16-1. I guess they are expecting another Boller-type effort from the Baltimore rookie. Also interesting is that Mendenhall is ahead of Felix Jones in the odds, even though Jones went before him. Both will be on running back by committee teams, but apparently the odds makers like the odds that Mendenhall will overtake Willie Parker more than Jones taking over for Marion Barber. ...

For the Bills, Devin Thomas Could Be This Year's Donte Whitner

Rover found this 4/22/2008 on sports.aol.com

Conventional mock-draft wisdom has the Bills using their 11th-overall pick on either a wide receiver or cornerback. Both make sense: Lee Evans ' contract expires after the 2008 season and Trent Edwards could use a big target to line up opposite Evans, one of the most underrated wideouts in the league. The defense could also use a warm body in the secondary, particularly if it meant Jabari ...

Day 1 Recap

Posted 4/27/2008 on Hogs Haven: Front Page Posts

Okay... suffice it to say that the draft went a little different than anyone expected. Yes, they traded down like HogsHaven reader Dr WNC (and my fellow blogger Skin Patrol) wanted, but after that it took a different turn. But first, meet your newest Washington Redskins : WR Devin Thomas , Michigan State TE Fred Davis , Southern Cal WR Malcolm Kelly , Oklahoma Thomas was probably ...

Skins’ Pick Kills Ocho Cinco Rumor Dead

Posted 4/26/2008 on Mr. Irrelevant

As a Redskins fan, you’ve got to be happy about at least three things: 1) Cincy rejected Washington’s generous offer for Chad Johnson. 2) The Skins turned their full slate of picks into an even better slate of picks . 3) Their first selection at No. 34 overall is Michigan State wide receiver Devin Thomas , who Mel Kiper has as the top WR in the draft. Can’t bust any of that. ...

Washington Redskins Select WR Devin Thomas at #33

Posted 4/26/2008 on The Redskin Report

The Redskins have gone with WR Devin Thomas. Thomas was the highest rated receiver on most draft boards. Most mock drafts had him going well before the Redskins original top pick at 21, but receivers have seemingly dropped off the board and he was surprisingly still available even after the Redskins traded down. VITALS Height: 6′2 Weight: 216lbs 40 yard time: 4.4 Scout ...

Redskins Trade Down; And It Pays Off With WR Devin Thomas

Posted 4/26/2008 on FanHouse

The Washington Redskins traded out of the first round and actually *gasp* picked up some extra picks. The deal goes down like this: Redskins deal away their first round pick (#21), third round pick (#84) and fifth round pick (#154) Falcons deal away their two second round picks (#34 and #48) and fourth round pick (#103) That means that Washington gets three second round picks ...

Steelers Select Rashard Mendenhall

Posted 4/26/2008 on Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies

The Steelers used their 1st Round pick, 23rd overall, on Illinois RB Rashard Munhall Mendenhall. With Devin Thomas still on the board and Big Ben pleading for a tall WR, I thought the Steelers were giving serious thought to the Michigan State wideout. Rather, the team is showing its continued reliance on the ground game. Munhall Mendenhall should compliment Fast Bill nicely. As a '
