ESPN’s Todd McShay has Thomas being taken with the No. 7 overall pick in his latest mock draft, which was released on Tuesday.
Thomas, who started all 13 games at left tackle, anchored a Georgia line that allowed 0.92 sacks and rushed for 189.5 yards per game this season.
Junior tailback D’Andre Swift and third-year sophomore offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson are mulling over whether to enter the NFL draft and not play in the Sugar Bowl, sources told ESPN’s Mark Schlabach.
Georgia will play Baylor in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 in New Orleans.
