yea you are right ray lewis is better than zack thomas... i mean just check out how good lewis did last season and i mean atleast he made it to the pro bowl ..... OHHH THATS RIGHT ... ray lewis blew a** last year... zack thomas was leading the league in tackles until his injury..... zack thomas made the pro bowl .... ray lewis didnt- lewis USED TO BE a great linebacker.... still is pretty good but ZACK THOMAS IS A CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT LINEBACKER EVERY YEAR and pretty much MAKES our defense along with jason taylor..... 1st round pick for a young pro bowler from last year would be the only way to go... no other reason to trade that pick away
