NFL.com News on Brian Thomas Jr.

Thomas' recent inactivity and redundancy with Thornton raise concerns.

Has been underutilized this season despite playing for offensive-minded coach Liam Coen; has just one catch in his last three games combined, raising questions about why he's been so unproductive. His immediate impact could be limited while learning the Chiefs' playbook, and the third-round price tag is costly given the Chiefs' recent third-round picks (Nohl Williams and Ashton Gillotte) have progressed to become impact players. Additionally, there's potential redundancy when Thornton returns, as their skill sets mostly overlap and the Chiefs would need to feature both next season despite Thornton's two-year deal.
