Pats draft Ga Tech safety Jemea Thomas, 6th rd #206 - Big Hitter!

[Nunchucks]

5'9 and 192 lbs, already maxed out his weight. He is small. I see a guy who is going to break down, especially if he is playing a SS type role.

I think we know that but he looks like he could give himself, and the Patriots, a few good years before that happens.

Jemea Thomas – Drafted 206th overall by the Patriots

Was going to point out the same thing. Two very similar players. I really liked Joyner before the draft, so I'm happy with this pick.

 

[50-yard-line]

looks like a fine pick, instant upgrade over the likes of Chung, Gregory, Wilson, etc..

What?

A good tackler with some solid skills. Size....HOF cornerback Darrell Green was 5'8" and 185.

What?

I think what he is saying is that in terms of talent Thomas' versatility and the fact that he can cover and takes good angles, makes him an upgrade over those guys.

Thomas will compete with Tavon Wilson for a roster spot.

 

[JMC00]

I disagree. I think it will be Chung and Wilson that will end up battling for the roster spot.
