CLEVELAND, Ohio - Get to know Solomon Thomas in this NFL Draft preview capsule.

Name: Solomon Thomas

Position: Defensive end

School: Stanford

Height/weight: 6-2, 275

Year: Redshirt sophomore

Pros: A projected top 10 pick in some mock drafts, Thomas is "one of the biggest risers of the year," ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. wrote

"He had eight sacks this season while playing end," Kiper added, "but at 6-3, 270 pounds, he could move inside and play tackle, too. The versatility is what stands out."

Cons: CBSSports.com's Rob Rang provides this caution about Thomas: "Will be viewed by some as a 'tweener lacking the bulk to be an every-down defensive tackle or the burst and bend of a classic defensive end."

Rang also suggested Thomas' production might have been slanted by Stanford's willingness to use stunts to free him up. However, Rang added "he was as disruptive or more than any defender in the entire country in 2016, bar none."

Projection: First round
