he thinks itll be a surprise if he makes the team

definitly an upgrade over hayden.  the competition should be real interesting with all the depth we traded for.  essentially already drafted 2 dt this year to go with corvey irvin last year.  lots of youth and it isnt a given that kemo comes back from his injury. thats a major injury for a big body that 'old'

I like your list of players, but personally I believe Panthers would be better suited to keep Thomas over Lewis. First for the experience he brings so he can help groom the young guys, second we need a second DT in the NT mold and third he would be cheaper.

I think either Kemo or Thomas need to stay one more year. Since Kemo isn't healthy yet and we don't know when he will be; I believe Thomas should stay until Louis becomes more accustomed to the position.
