Ian Thomas Value

What is Ian Thomas' value?

[JohnnyBoyRoss]

As an owner I would need a second to consider it, probably would want a mid second in this draft class. He was considered a “raw” prospect who has done well when given a starting role, and we all know TE’s take time to develop. So when you factor in that he was “raw” and still produced at that position that has a longer learning curve, I think he has real potential to enter the TE1 conversation for the next few years.

I'm a Ian believer , I can't fully trust him but I think he can be a top 7-10 TE now with Olsen gone..

In a non TE bonus league I would pay a mid - late 2nd for him depending on how bad I needed a TE , I would want a early - mid 2nd if I was selling.

For what it's worth I just offered Ian for 2.04 in a .5ppr league he denied , So I sent another of Ian , 2021 2nd for 2.04 , 2021 3rd

As a Thomas owner, I don't think he's anything special. The Panthers have a bad QB situation, DJ Moore and CMC clearly ahead of him, and a guy like Samuel begging for more touches. Thomas did little when Olsen was out last year. He's still a poor blocker. I'd cash out on the hype, personally. The hype is more to do with Olsen leaving than anything he did last year. I cashed out in a TE premium SF league moving Thomas and 1.10 for 1.07. I just don't think he's a difference maker. I'd try for any 2nd I could, or moving from the 3rd to the 2nd type thing. Dime a dozen type TE production, IMO. I could be wrong. I still hold him in my team in sig., but I just don't see a really good football player. His production can be easily duplicated.

I'd take any 2nd in a standard, non TE premium league, in this class. I wouldn't consider it, as the previous owners said. I'd take it. This class is deep. In a 12 team league, give me any 2nd over Ian Thomas. Like I already said, he's nothing special, IMO.

I know last year he wasn't any good really with some bleep QBs , But his rookie year from week 13-17 with Olsen out them 5 weeks he was the #5 TE.. Don't get me wrong I don't think he will be a top 5 TE but going into year 3 as the starter I think he can be a top 7-10 TE if Cam comes back since he loves his TEs , Or any decent QB tbh.

Eh, I don’t see the point in trading him for a late 2nd. You’re getting into deep dart throw territory by that point. The top 18-20 WR/RBs will be off the board, as well as the top 2-3 QBs, so you’re looking at a flyer RB/WR, or the third- or fourth-best rookie TE. I just doubt there 20+ rookies in this class with his combination of athleticism and opportunity.

His upside obviously depends a lot on what the new offense looks like in Carolina and who is throwing him passes. At the very least, he would seem to be the prime candidate to get a lot of the Panthers’ red zone targets. Moore, McCaffrey and Samuel aren’t exactly giants.

I’d sell for the 2.04 or better in the league I own him in, but I’m also really deep at TE. Anything past that and I’d probably at least want to wait until the pick is on the clock.

I would hold for anything outside of an early 2nd if the pick was OTC and I liked the options available. Now that Thomas is going to start, I would rather hold and see what he is.

Not sure that's a given, TBH. He's still not a good blocker. Like I said, I roster the guy, but a 2nd in this class I'll take all day over a TE that isn't a special player. 4th option in that passing game, I'd take the 2nd, personally. Wish my league mates would give me a 2nd for him.

Mid/late 2nd
