Today they had a dissertation on how the NFL is a passing league and that defenders are now being graded on how well they defend against the pass. McCoy has more "wiggle" to slip past Guards to get pressure on the QB. Getting sacks is how DTs can make plays in the passing game. DBs make plays by getting Interceptions, so Thomas is the better "Ball Hawk" in Mayock's eyes. Eric Berry goes for "hits" to break up passes, so that's his explanation for why he has guys ranked higher.
