Via ESPN's Draft Blog and Hardaway Hates Pittsburgh, we present the aunt of new Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas.

Yes. That's a mohawk. And a neck tattoo. And an NFL logo on the side of her head. Joe Thomas has the coolest aunt of all time.

This video comes from The FanHouse's Enrico Campitelli, who's at the draft today. I just love watching the emotions change here; you can almost see their internal monologue. "What's going to happen, what should do I do? Left tackle? That doesn't mean much to me, but OHHHHHH! OHHHHHHHH! OHHHHHHHHH! I'M ON TV! LOOK AT ME! I'M ON TV! HOW MUCH LONGER SHOULD I KEEP SCREAMING? OHHHHHH!"

Live From Radio City: Joe Thomas! Boo! [NFL FanHouse]

At Deadspin, we don't have the juice to mount a camera in Thomas boat as he fishes for coho salmon on Lake Michigan . So we did the next best thing. It's time for an exclusive interview with Smokey the Coho Salmon:

Deadspin: What do you think of the Browns' selection of Thomas?

Smokey: Must swim. Swim upstream. Avoid Bear. Swim.

Deadspin: Do you think Thomas will have as great an impact on the passing game in Cleveland as he has had on you and your aquatic brethren?

Smokey: Swim. Find ancestral spawning grounds. Jump waterfall. Brave rapids. Swim. Swim. Spawn. Die.

Deadspin: I guess that's salmon for "this interview is over."

Thomas' arrival in Cleveland will benefit the Browns as much as it does the denizens of Lake Michigan . Thomas has the best footwork and lateral quickness of any tackle to enter the NFL in the last five years. He gets great position on his defender and has incredible balance. He's a superior overall athlete and a team player who moved over to the defensive line when the Badgers suffered a spate of injuries after the 2005 season. He's not one of those glass-eating Jon Runyan types who live to beat the snot out of opponents, but neither was Willie Roaf, and Roaf turned out just fine.

Thomas fills a need for the Browns, whose quarterbacks were sacked 54 times last season. Of course, bad things often happen to Browns top picks: freak injuries, motorcycle accidents, etc. Let's hope there are life preserves in that boat, or by sundown Thomas will be the subject of a Gordon Lightfoot song.

The NFL Network is planning things you won't see on ESPN. It will mount a camera on a boat Wisconsin lineman Joe Thomas, expected to be a high first-round pick, will be fishing in on a Wisconsin lake Saturday.

"We'll be the only one with him in the middle of the lake," Weinberger said. "I hope he gets cellphone reception" — so the onboard camera can catch Thomas hearing from the team picking him.

We appreciate the innovative nature of The NFL Network, loading a camera on a boat in a move that we are sure in no way will distract from the sacred fishing trip. Let's just hope they turn off the camera for that inevitable moment when Thomas will need to pee off the side of the boat. It takes too long to row all the way to shore, and, besides, it scares the fish.
