2026 Projections
Chosen by Chiefs
The Chiefs selected Thomas in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 40th overall.
ANALYSIS
Thomas (6-foot-2, 241 pounds) is undersized in terms of both height and frame, but that didn't prevent him from tallying a combined 15.5 sacks across 23 appearances with Oklahoma over the last two seasons, earning first- and second-team All-SEC honors those years. George Karlaftis is established as a starter for Kansas City's pass rush, which veteran DT Chris Jones remains the anchor of, leaving Thomas in position to compete with 2025 third-rounder Ashton Gillotte and 2023 first-rounder Felix Anudike-Uzomah (hamstring) for snaps.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top-50 pick per Feldman
Wednesday's mock draft from Bruce Feldman of The Athletic has Thomas going 48th overall to the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
The Falcons don't have a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, so they will likely have to wait until Day 2 before getting a chance to potentially address their need on the edge. Thomas could help fill it after recording 15.5 sacks across his last two years at Oklahoma. That excellent pass-rushing production is counterbalanced by Thomas being an undersized prospect at just 6-foot-2 and 241 pounds, which is why he could slip to the second round.
