Cedric Thompson, S
College: Minnesota Round 5: Pick 14 (140) Height: 6 feet Weight: 208 pounds Comment: Started all 32 games at safety for three years during his Minnesota career. Qualified in size to put up against tight ends, Thompson is above-average in speed and has adequate closing burst. His stats show speed and tenacity, but instincts and defensive awareness are below average. Thompson is a wrap-up tackler — 83 tackles during his senior year — and had four pass breakups and two interceptions. His willingness and tenacity to finish in an open field could be advantageous after training on recognition and reaction.
