Ever since Joe Thomas was drafted with the third overall pick in the 2007 draft, he has had a big impact on the Browns. Thomas has made the Pro Bowl roster nine times and been a first-team All-Pro six times thus far in his career.

Season after season, Thomas is considered one of the best, if not the best, left tackles in the game. He is a dominant player that gives his all for his team, fans, and community. The Browns drafted an elite player when they selected Thomas in the 2007 draft. He quickly became the vocal leader of the team.

Thomas is ranked at the bottom of this list because, despite his excellent play, his team has not come close to making the playoffs during his tenure with Cleveland. Additionally, Thomas is still playing so it would not be fair to assume that he can continue his amazing level of production for another five to six seasons.

However, if Thomas is able to continue his production and the Browns win a playoff game or two, expect to see him move up the list.
