Solomon Thomas played two seasons at Stanford after redshirting his freshman year. He put up pretty good numbers and was named a third-Team All-American for his work his sophomore year. Heading into the draft, Pro Football Focus ranked him as the 4th-best end available.

The 49ers clearly disagreed with that assessment and made him the second end taken at number 3. That gamble didn’t pay off as Thomas has just 6 sacks in 4 NFL seasons. The Niners set him free when they declined his 5th-year option. Thomas signed with Las Vegas this offseason.
