Joe Thomas

I love it. The grown ups are finally in charge in Berea. Joe Thomas is the best tackle in the draft. What's more, he's the pick who has the best chance to succeed here and who can help them the most right now. Here's the scouting report.

I heard the ESPN guys call this the "safe pick." I think Vinny's got it right--it took some stones for Savage to make this pick with Everybody's All-American smiling at the TV cameras. Now give Thomas Secret Service protection and put him in bubble wrap until the first game of next season.

Here's a video I found on Youtube showing his combine workout and some season highlights.
