"Thomas was a top-25 player on my final board, so this was great value for the Chiefs to stay patient and land him. What he lacks in size (6-foot-2, 249 pounds), he makes up for with juice. He's a blur coming off the edge, with strong first-step quickness and active, combative hands.

The Chiefs needed to find pass rushers who major in getting home quick to take the burden off Chris Jones. Mission accomplished."

Very high expectations from ESPN on our No. 40 overall draft pick-- he's also the second defensive player mentioned on the list
