Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas didn't have a particularly good pro day workout Monday, but that might not necessarily bode poorly as far as the draft is concerned. It may drop him down, out of the second round, maybe even the third, which could put him in a better position for the Lions to draft him.
To me, Thomas, who gained over 1,500 yards and scored 19 touchdowns last season, would be the perfect complimentary back to Jahvid Best. He is 6-0, 230 pounds and strong. He missed the Senior Bowl and the combine because of hamstring issues. He only ran one 40-yard dash Monday, about 4.6, but is probably capable of running better when he is fully healthy, which will be at some point after the draft.
