Nice pickup. Someone has to play CB tomorrow night. We don't want Patmon and Mitchell to carry the whole load that night. I think Webb, Patmon, and Mitchell all made the team. Right now, Jemea Thomas is just a body to get by the last preseason game. He may warrant PS consideration.

Webb wont play and we only had 3 corners healthy and willing in Patmon, Mitchell and Moore. Even Moore is not that healthy.

True and was the same reason Tanner was signed. I don't expect either to stay beyond Thursdays game

Many of us had the Cowboys taking him late in the draft.

wow the kid looks more like a safety really. not afraid to get in there at all.

I do not think he's really a true cornerback. More of an in-between type.

If they value tackling, he is better than Webb.

I see Jamea more of a nickel safety at the moment. I looked him up during the draft and he plays alot more like a safety than a corner. As you can see he is athletic but is lacking height and a true position at the moment. A developmental prospect at the moment. The question is, is he a safety or corner?

I had him in my 7 round mock right before the draft.

looks like he played lot of zone. could be a better match for Marinelli than a press man corner esp if he tackles well which it look like he does. draft grade on him was as high as 3rd I bet Bilicheck thought he got a steal in 7th.

04/29/14 - Five players who should be on Dallas' draft radar: DB Jemea Thomas, Georgia Tech: A former running back, Thomas was a two-year starter at Georgia Tech, logging snaps between the rover safety and cornerback positions. He led the team in tackles as a senior and finished his career with 30 passes defended and nine interceptions. Thomas isn't the biggest or fastest, but he plays fast, balanced and decisive with a tough-minded, high motor approach to the game. He can get lost in coverage at times with some tweener traits, but is a try-hard overachiever who gets the most out of his ability and has the on-field intensity, versatility and play speed to be a quality sub-package defensive back. Thomas is a third round talent who will probably still be on the board in the fourth and Dallas has shown some interest. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com

Nice call. But think you deducted 1rd because of the suffix - CB

he's probably better at everything than Webb..
