Hmmmm

CincyJungle also has him as our top rated receiver, which it's hard to believe anything teams say in draft season, but the reasoning seems legit, which the reasoning is that they see him as another Marvin Jones:

Quote:The Bengals may see the next Marvin Jones in Michael Thomas, and that's why he may really be on top of their big board at receiver. Sure, they may think guys like Treadwell, Doctson and Coleman are better, but they're more confident Thomas will come in and do what Jones did and be that kind of player, whereas they're not as sure with the other guys as to what they'll be in the NFL or how to effectively use them.

Regardless of being more raw, I really think Thomas can be more explosive than Jones and a better target with sure-hands.

Thomas is one inch taller, but I think he does a better job at making athletic/contested catches.

I'm on the Thomas train more and more as we get closer to the draft.

If that's indeed true, I think we can scratch off the idea of taking Billings in the first and Thomas in the second.
