PLAYER ANALYSIS
Talented high-safety prospect with good range and ball skills who will experience occasional bumps in the road as he grows into a finished product. Thompson plays with desired levels of explosiveness and chance-taking in his coverage, but inconsistencies against Oklahoma and Clemson show that he may not be ready to step right in as a pro. He will be parked on the back-end and may need to pick and choose his spots as a hitter due to his frame. His traits and talent could make him an early starter.
