Is there any way we pass on Thomas?

Thomas is exactly like Jonathan Ogden. Ogden was perceived as a "soft pass blocker" who didn't like to run block when he came out of UCLA.

But Ogden was a soft 6-9 340 lbs pass-blocker.

Thomas doesn't have the same frame as Ogden, and IMO not the same potential as a dominating Run blocker because of it.

I would still draft him, though.

Ogden never came into the league that big. That weight came in post-draft. And Walter Jones came in even lighter.

Okay, vinny. I agree. Well, maybe I'll worry a little, just not too much. On second thought, I'll worry a lot and act like I don't.[/quote

Great Post. But we Cardinal fans who go overboard with the draft (Yo included) belong on the Intervention Show. Albeit I think our addiction is a bit less harmfull to all. The draft is like Springtime. It is the dawning of a beautiful new season. I say this as of this moment I see about 6 inches of snow in my driveway and my family reamains on strike as far as cleaning it. Cubs postponed today.
