02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Isaiah Thomas projects best in a hybrid 4-3 defense that prioritizes attacking gaps and generating pressure with speed and athleticism.
Wide-9 DE5-Tech DERush OLB
Best role
Year one, he could contribute as a rotational pass rusher on obvious passing downs with the ceiling to develop into a starting defensive end in a 4-3 system.
Wrong fit
He would be a poor fit in a two-gapping 3-4 front where he would be asked to consistently hold the point of attack against larger offensive linemen.
His athletic profile and pass rush potential make him a valuable asset for teams running a penetrating defensive scheme.
