can he make the change to MLB?

No one was quite sure where to put him.

The answer? All over the field. As the Ravens shift back and forth from 3-4 to 4-3 under innovative defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, Thomas might be anywhere -- charging at the passer, clogging the running routes, blanketing a receiver on a short middle route. For a 270-pounder, his speed is frightening.

Last season, Thomas had a career high 104 tackles to go with nine sacks.

I think that all answers the question of, "would he fit with our team?" as a resounding YES :P

I will always remember screaming at the t.v. during 2003 draft in the 4th round when the Saints picked Montrae Holland with the 5th pick, and Dallas grabbed Bradie James with the next pick. Holland has been an average guard for the Saints, and James is now a star on a great Dallas defense. He just signed a 5 year extension with Dallas. He would have been great for the Saints... He's a Louisiana guy, graduated from West Monroe High, and LSU. I agree that Simoneau is not a long term solution.
