Has anyone seen any Boise St games this year?  CBS has this guy as the number 1 FS.  If we dont get a FS in the draft and we dont get Ramsey in the 1st is this guy a option in the 2nd?  Haven't seen any Boise St games so was wondering what people think of him?

 

Here is the scouting report on him

 

Quote: 

A well-rounded and rangy safety. A tall, linear athlete, he is always on the hunt with an active, fast play style, covering a lot of ground both in coverage and vs. the run. Thompson's aggressive demeanor also leads to missed plays and he needs to be more disciplined and do a better job controlling himself on the move. Nonetheless, the positives outweigh the negatives with Thompson and his versatile skill-set will be appealing at the next level.

If the scouting report is true, seems like the type of FS we like.

 

Pass rushers in FA, Hargreaves in the 1st and Thompson in the 2nd?

I guess nobody knows about this guy?  lol

I pulled him up on youtube.  His highlight reel featured several interceptions that we wildly thrown over the WR as he was more or less playing center field.  He has good hands BUT I didn't see anything that appeared to be even close to someone possessing ball hawking skills like Palumalu or Ed Reed.   Perhaps he studied field on the opposing QBs and found it wise to stay 10 yards behind the WRs since the QBs totally sucked !!   :woot:

If you are waiting to draft another Palumalu or Reed you will be waiting a long time and will likely never get one. Thats 2 Hall of Famers. We just need someone that isnt a liability and can be a good pro
If a safety isn't taken in free agency, this guy looks like he would fit in the 2nd round. Based on the projections I've seen, the Jaguars could possibly trade back and get an additional 4th or 5th rounder and still get Thompson towards the end of round 2.
