Clearly he has the best physical tools and subsequently the highest upside.  But he has been a starter for a long time and just hasnt shown many signs of getting better.  In fact I think you can argue he has gotten worse in some aspects.  Maybe all he needs is the right coaching.  But I have my doubts.

 

I've always thought htere were two kinds of later round QB prospects.  One's who you draft as intelligent, team leader type backups and ones you draft because you think their upside is starter material.  Thomas falls in the latter.  He isnt the guy you want holding the clipboard taking notes and looking for signs of weakness he can relay to the starter.  He is the guy who has the physical tools that you take a late flyer on.  But again, we've seen enough of him that I doubt he'll improve.  Even with better coaching.

 

I'd use a 7th rounder on him just for the heck of it.  Anything earlier than that, I'd be looking for a position change.
