OK, some people think he is overrated although him in the 4th or 5th round is perfectly rated and no "expert" has even brought him up on either day. You think he sucks which is fine. I would take Duke over him too but I don't think he sucks and I feel he will be a solid safety in the NFL.

To me overrated is unnecessary hype brought to your name when it is not deserved. He hasnt received any hype at all, other than the fact that the Redskins are his favorite team.

IMO must address safety and pick up a speedy rb and a RT tomorrow.

We dont have to get a RT tomorrow.

Yeah I shouldnt've used the word overrated. I'll just say im not a fan of his game. Just think there are better FS's Williams, S Thomas, Rambo.

I can't wait for day 3 of the draft. I want Phillip Thomas.

I wouldn't take Phillip Thomas before the 5th round. Not that I don't like him as a player, ironically enough I really like him, but we already have enough players with durability concerns. Don't need another one.

You must be referring to his leg injury from the year before. Thomas didn't have any injuries or recurring injuries last year and he's not an injury prone player. He was originally projected to go in the 2nd round but he hasn't been drafted yet do to his 74.1 grade at the combine. If he would have graded out at 80 or 82 he would have been drafted by now. He was worthy of being a late 3rd round pick and the fact that he's still available going into today bodes well for the Redskins. But someone might draft him before we pick again.

I wouldn't take Phillip Thomas until round 6.

If you watch how he plays against the likes of an Oregon, he was lost and getting burned constantly. He to me is a sub package guy and special teamer. I known Mayock loves him, but I don't.
