Draft Countdown has us taking him in round 2. He played for Gailey at Georgia Tech. He broke his foot tho but will be healed by OTA.
Georgia Tech wide receiver Demaryius Thomas broke his left foot on Wednesday while preparing for next week's NFL scouting combine. The injury occurred while Thomas was practicing the three-cone drill. He has been ruled out of participating in any of the combine workouts. His agent, Todd France, told SI.com that it was a clean break and doctors expect a recovery time of four-to-six weeks. Although, surgery is a possibility. "There are no long term effects from the injury and Demaryius will be 100 percent by the time OTAs begin," France said. "If surgery hastens the healing process, that is something we will consider." Thomas is 6-foot-3, 227 pounds and recently ran a verified 4.38 in the 40-yard dash, which was filmed and will be sent to every team in the league. Thomas led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 1,154 receiving yards last season.
Fantasy Analysis:
Thomas has the look of a guy who can be a fantasy contributor right away. Obviously, a glance at his size, speed and college reminds you of another former Yellow Jacket wide receiver: Calvin Johnson. Let's not get carried away. Johnson is a freak and clearly one of the best receivers in the game. Thomas has been climbing up mock draft boards recently. While this is a setback, he is still a first-round talent and someone to definitely keep your eye on in the preseason, depending on which team selects him.
