Jamari Thrash

Jamari Thrash posted a top-10 career dominator rating in his draft class at 24%. A lot of that can be attributed to his marquee 2022 season at Georgia State, where Thrash posted a 43% dominator rating with over 1,100 yards and 7 TDs on 62 catches. That single-season rating was the third highest in the class.
The 6-foot and 188-pound WR transferred to Louisville this past season and caught 62 passes for the second straight season with a 26% dominator rating to boot. The jump in competition did not slow down Thrasher, who has been producing since he turned 20 years old as a sophomore at Georgia State.
He tied a bow on his college career with a top-10 dominator rating in the class (24%). He's an older prospect at 23 years old, but that might help him hit the ground running as he makes another competitive leap to the NFL.
Slippery after the catch and a savvy route runner are two of his most evident traits when you watch him on film. 12th in YAC/reception and 7th in broken/missed tackle rate in 2023. Finished 8th in the class in both target share (28%) and target rate above expectation (+8.1%).
He is particularly adept at gaining yards after the catch, using his quickness to evade defenders. His acceleration off the line of scrimmage and ability to change direction swiftly make him a challenging assignment for opposing defensive backs.
However, his vertical game is lacking and needs more consistency. Four drops on deep balls last season. And just 30% of his routes were deemed "deep" per Sports Info Solutions (25th).
He was drafted by the Browns in Round 5.

The Cleveland Browns have selected WR Jamari Thrash with the No. 156 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Thrash can help provide the vertical threat that Cleveland has been searching for the last few years. A transfer from Georgia State to Louisville, Thrash had 1,980 yards and 13 TDs in his last two seasons., though he is already 23 and spent five seasons in college.
