Apparently you only care about where a guy was drafted if you don't believe in Thomas. If you cannot evaluate Thomas and see that he is capable of being a starter then you need to reconsider and think of doing something else with your free time other than "evaluating"

I missed the Saints game due to a family emergency. I would love to have seen how Josh Thomas matched up vs. a quality offense. I just really didn't get excited watching him win a few battles vs unmotivated reserves on losing teams. He makes plays, I can give him credit for that. But I would be disappointed if we went into the 2013 Super Bowl Campaign with Josh Thomas as our Plan A. We are trying to make the playoffs and win the super bowl right?

What do you see negative about the kid other than not being a big name guy? Here is what I like about him, no matter who he is against he gets in their face at the LOS. Yeah sometimes they get off his jam and get behind him, but that fearlessness at the line is something that we have missed around here for a long time. I've said it in other threads, he played better than Chris Gamble ever has and that includes going against Roddy and Julio, who in my opinion are as good a combo as you will see in the NFL.

Defensive line - be able to create a ridiculous 4-man rush. Greg, Dwan and Charles know how to bring the heat, but what would really make it ridiculous is to bring in a talented guy to round out the front four. You're not going to find someone like that except in the first round, maybe second.

Secondary - you want bigger, more physical DBs here. Look at the Seahawks' nameless secondary. You can't figure out who those guys are but they will bump you off your route and are, for the most part, gigantic. Even QBs such as Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers had a tough time throwing against them. Xavier Rhodes is someone that fits that kind of mold. Forget Honey Badger, if 5'1'' corners are your bag then we can just re-sign Munnerlyn for depth at vet min who kept Drew Brees to a 53.8 rating throwing against him last Sunday.

WR - Only in favor of drafting one who is tall and productive with a high propensity for YAC

Agree.

A tall WR? Keenan

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
