Possible Draft Stock: Rounds 2-4
The Player: Already considered to be one of the top safeties in next year's draft, we'll see if not having that extra season of film Thompson would've had in 2019 affects his draft stock much. Listed at 6-0, 195, Thompson has a slender, albeit adequate frame for free safety. While he was able to contribute against the run in college in the Pac-12, he will likely need to bulk up a little if he is to hold up against the run in the NFL. Otherwise, he is more of a pass defender with the ability to play in the slot as well as safety. He has a nose for making plays on the ball, coming down with six interceptions and 17 pass breakups in 39 games. Overall, he's an instinctual, well-balanced, playmaking safety prospect who would be deserving of being picked.
