1.15 New Orleans Chocolate City - WR Michael Thomas

In the real world: Thomas, the nephew of former Jets WR Keyshawn Johnson,  will replace the departed Marques Colston with the Saints, whose best WR options going into the Draft were Brandin Cooks and Willie Snead (they're both a few inches shorter than Thomas). He could be compared favorably to Michael Floyd of the Cardinals.  The only red flag of note: He reportedly struggled with academics and with picking up Ohio State offense early in his college career, which is why his coaches redshirted him in 2013.  NFL playbooks can be much tougher than college playbooks.

In the TUFF world: Thomas is a homer pick of sorts for Tommy Hartdegen (because the New Orleans Saints drafted him). He was in the "green room" for far too long--he usually goes in the first eight picks in most rookie drafts, and here he is at #15 (hence the green check mark). What was once a terrible wideout corps has gotten a serious boost with Amari Cooper and Dorial Green-Beckham last year, and now Thomas--truth be told, even with the mental red flag, he was my second choice at 1.08.
