I don't know if he is. He's 5-11 and barely over 200, so we'd just be putting another undersized, cover guy at a run-stopping spot. At 6-1, 212, Heath has slightly better size to play strong safety, but just doesn't have the acumen. Both guys love to deliver a pop, but being an SS takes more than that.
I feel that Woods at SS would have been a lot like placing Byron Jones there. However, I do believe if we had acquired Thomas, we at least would have let Woods and Heath compete for the starting SS job. And maybe he would have lived up to your belief.
