I still think Thomas was a bad pick given all the information available to us, and though I think Cerrato has by and large done a good job since taking control, Thomas is going to have to prove --to me -- by his play on the field that he was deserving of the pick we used on him. Until he can prove me wrong, I'll continue to think his selection was a mistake.

I'm just trying to make the distinction here clear between the justification of a player's selection, and the evaluation of his NFL career. I want to give DT every chance to prove he can be the future No. 1 WR of the Redskins, because the team certainly has that faith in him. I just think that it might be faith misplaced.
Would you have felt like that if we had a first round pick to spend on... say... a stud DE... then went on to pick him in the second round? Remember that just because he was our first pick, he was still a second round pick. Second round should produce either good solid talent or a chance at a big talent IMHO.

Not saying I'm right. Just wondering your thought process and/or where you had him ranked.
