it's really hard to miss a player who couldn't seem to do anything other than run in a straight line down the field in practice
football may not be astrophysics but it does require intelligence, commitment and focus -evidently things that Thomas just didn't possess.
There's no use crying over Thomas. ALL clubs make mistakes on this type of player at one time or another - the physically gifted athlete who just isn't an NFL football player.
There have been MANY of these types of guys taken in the first 15 picks in Round 1 over the years who have been washouts.
What was devastating for Washington is that the other two #2 picks the team had in 2008 were also spent on receivers and not on the OL and DL.
Also, the #3 (Rinehart), #4 (Tryon) picks that ended up being busts.

cmon now Cranky...sure there were folks who are glad he failed. you can read it in their posts. just like there are folks for legit and illegit reasons who wnated AH to fail.
Actually, my comment was made with tongue firmly in cheek as I was on record hoping he'd do well if for no other reason than to humble Shanny a bit. I certainly could have worded it a better to make my stab at humor more obvious.
Now cranky physician, heal thyself. And stop shaking your fist at those meddling kids while you're at it.
