1. (3) Joe Thomas, OT

The Cleveland Browns have often overlooked the offensive line on Draft Day but not today as they selected the highest ranked offensive tackle in the entire draft.  Thomas projects as a starting left tackle from day #1 for the Cleveland Browns as he’s often compared to Orlando Pace.  He will team up with free agent signee LG Eric Steinbach to give the Browns a potential dominant left side of their offensive line.  Thomas is 6′6″, 310 pounds and he has unbelievable speed for a tackle as he runs a sub-5.0 second 40!  Thomas is good at leading sweeps and getting into blockers on the second level of the defense.  He excells at hitting moving targets and he’s a fantastic pass blocker.  Score one for the Browns as they should be able to pencil in Thomas’ name at left tackle for the next 10 seasons.  He will have multiple Pro Bowls in his future as long as he stays healthy.
