The San Francisco 49ers invested a first round pick in Stanford defensive tackle Solomon Thomas after months of mock drafts suggesting it would happen. It seemed too obvious, but it turned out mock drafts were spot on. The 49ers traded down one spot from the No. 2 pick and landed the top guy remaining on their board.
We've heard draft analysts discussing Thomas and every other prospect, but how about what scouts have to say? Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journel Sentinel runs a pre-draft column every year featuring all sorts of random comments from anonymous scouts.
