Stanford. Solomon Thomas. 14. player. 46. With franchise QB Andrew Luck, the Indianapolis Colts won’t have problems scoring points.

Solomon Thomas would be a great pick for the team here at No. 14 overall. The 6’3″, 280-pounder is an extremely tough player to block while trying to run or pass.</p><div class=. DE

He’s extremely explosive and can wreak havoc while lining up anywhere on the D-line. For the Colts, who run a 3-4, Thomas would be a DE and play DE or DT on passing downs. He has an explosive first step, strong hands and the ability to bend/wrap around the edge.

He also has a powerful bull rush from the outside while he wins with speed inside. A playmaker like this against the run and pass would do the Colts defense a world of good. They would then be ready to challenge for the AFC South championship again.
