Baltimore Ravens Best Draft Pick Gems of All Time
By Ed Bandell
2000 6th Round Draft Pick: DE/LB: Adalius Thomas
Considered too big to play linebacker and perhaps a little too small for a defensive end, Defensive Coordinator Marvin Lewis used him in a perfect scheme which saw the versatile Thomas play OLB, DE, and would even line up at safety at times. He excelled and become a two-time Pro Bowl player for his ability to play the run, sack the QB, and drop back in pass coverage. Thomas played seven of his ten NFL seasons in Baltimore.
