Ughhh, I am not a huge fan of Thomas AT ALL! Misses waaaaaay too many tackles!! I'd take probably 6 guys before him. What do you like about him? Have you seen his Oregon tape? He was terrible!

I would caution you from making an opinion of a player based on a single game.
Having said that, I don't care for P. Thomas either.... the way Fresno State used him as a roving defender worries me. In the NFL, unless your name is Troy Polamalu, you don't get your own position and get to blitz or jump routes all day long. Guys like that are hard to project - he doesn't look like a rangy guy, or very instinctive against the pass, or a guy who's size/block shedding translates to playing around the box that much in the NFL. Can he play well in the NFL within the confines of a 1-deep/2-deep scheme? I don't see it.
