What do the experts think about the Jaguars' selection of Brian Thomas?
The Jacksonville Jaguars left the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft with a new weapon for Trevor Lawrence, selecting LSU wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. after trading down from No. 17 to No. 23.
"I think when you go into the draft, you try to identify players that can help you on either side of the ball. Brian is a young man, I think he had 22 targets over 20-plus yards and scored 15 touchdowns on those," Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke said. But while the Jaguars are high on their newest selection, what grades and takes do the experts around the league have on the Thomas pick?:Thomas isn’t on the level of Harrison, Odunze or Nabers, but he’s the next-best option in this loaded receiver class. With the Tigers, Thomas was a role player in 2021 and ’22 before exploding this past fall with 68 catches for 1,177 yards and 17 touchdowns.
