Dare I say that it is starting to look like Solomon Thomas is a bit over-hyped?  I (and apparently the coaches) have every confidence that he will rise up to the challenge, but I am surprised he got rated as one of the top 100 players in the country.

Not at all. I think there's a very good chance that Thomas will be gone after '16. Most talented DL I've ever seen at Stanford.

Varis was a stud, Thomas is a stud.  The Stanford linemen who had the longest NFL careers?  Paul Wiggin and Lester Archambeau had 11 year careers, but 7th round pick Jason Fisk had a 12 year career, playing in 182 games.  He never recovered a fumble, but had 19 sacks, three interceptions and forced four fumbles.
