With the 206th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, The Los Angeles Rams select Mike Thomas, WR Southern Mississippi

It has been an offensive 2016 NFL Draft for the Los Angeles Rams, as they add another wide receiver to finish the day. The Rams barring any trades will finish the 2016 NFL Draft coming out with two TE’s, Two WR’s and an LB on the final day. The final pick for the Los Angeles Rams is WR Mike Thomas. Thomas collected 71 receptions for 1,391 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2015. Those totals easily eclipsed his numbers from 2014: 41 catches for 592 yards and five touchdowns.

STRENGTHS:

Plays like his hair is on fire. Posted eye­-opening production in 2015. Motor is always in the red and brings enthusiasm and urgency to the field. Has good size, but plays even bigger. Able to play through contact and still make difficult, contested catches.

WEAKNESSES:

Average athlete inside first 10 yards. Hip tightness limits sink into and out of breaks and routes can be very raw. JUCO transfer who played just two years of FBS football. Easy target to tag for press corners.

Vertical: 36 inches
Broad jump: 10 feet, 11 inches
Short shuttle: 4.29 seconds
3-cone: 7.06 seconds
