1) We don't have a 6th round pick, it went to New England
2) We need help just about anywhere and getting rid of picks is a bad idea unless we want it to stay the same
3) Joe Thomas doesn't fit into Whisenhunt's system. He likes players that can maul and are strong run blockers. Thomas is a finesse player whose strength is pass blocking
4) The team has enough holes. The best way to fix that is TO STOP MAKING NEW ONES
1) Forgot about that.
2) True we have holes (LT,C,FS,DE,OLB,CB) but FS, OLB, and CB can all be addressed through free agency, and center, defensive end, and left tackle in the draft.
3) I disagree. Though Thomas is better at pass protection, he's no slouch in the run. Considering he's a Orlando Pace clone with the frame to add more size, that shouldn't be too much of a concern.
4) We aren't creating a new hole, we're filling our biggest one. The draft and free agency is very weak at LT, and Thomas is the only one capable of coming in and starting from day one.
