Turf Show Times on Brian Thomas Jr.
From the article
Thomas represents the higher-upside investment, while Downs could be the more affordable option for a team looking to strengthen its receiving corps without sacrificing significant draft capital.
STACKED’s take
Thomas offers higher upside as trade target with size, rookie contract control, and McVay system familiarity.
Brian Thomas Jr. represents the higher-upside investment for the Rams as a trade target. At 6-foot-3, he offers size, length, and athleticism to function as a true outside X receiver capable of winning against press or zone coverage and stretching the field. He is still on his rookie contract, giving the Rams multiple years of team control beyond the current season with long-term upside to build the receiving corps around him, especially with Davante Adams on an expiring contract. Thomas already operates in an offensive system influenced by McVay's coaching tree under Jacksonville head coach Liam Coen, who previously worked under McVay in Los Angeles, easing his transition with familiar concepts, terminology, and route combinations.
