Pick #111, Tedric Thompson, DB, Colorado

[UK_Seahawk]

Probably the worst pick so far by a mile. I don't see any upside at all.

Will be lucky to even make the team, has to do well on ST, but he is a terrible athlete.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Will he have to wear Welker's helmet?

 

[Hawkfan77]

Really like this pick. He's a very good and instinctual safety

 

[DJrmb]

Not quite the athlete as some safeties in this draft but I loved his instincts and awareness, he's Always around the ball!

QBs had a rating of 21.3 when targeting him in 2016, the lowest mark in FBS among safeties with at least 25 targets against.

In 2016 Thompson gave up completions on just 40.3 percent of passes into his area while racking up seven interceptions and seven passes defensed.

More players probably should.

Asiata Butt Perine and King were all still up not a fan of this with his concussion issues.

Shocking

I didn't search a ton, but a quick search gave a lot of info about his concussion in 2014 that resulted in him going to the hospital and missing 4 games. I didn't see anything about 4 concussions. Anybody have a link?

Big hits and big plays. we now drafted the 3rd DB from Michigan and Colorado. We spent all our time looking at the other guys.

Looks like we're keenly aware of the lack of turnovers, we're getting db's with excellent ball and tackling skills, and we're ramping up dline pressure.

7 picks last season. He is a ball hawk.

 

[hawkfan68]

He ran 4.60 40yd dash which to me seems slow for an FS. I hope he can overcome his lack of speed in the NFL. Terrell is reported to run in 4.3s for 40 and he repeatedly got beat. Picking Tedric with Eddie Jackson still on the board was shocking to me.

 

[HawkGA]

What did we get from the Jags?

A sixth.

I think we got the 6th when we traded down with them in the second round.

Oh, they traded down again with Jax? Didn't realize.

There is a reason our O-Line has been so poor the last few years, and this pick just reinforces that point. JS and PC are just proving all those doubters right by continuing to neglect that side of the line. This was the perfect spot to take Asiata or or Johnson. They could have sold the move down with the 49'ers to get this pick and take a guard. You could then have went up to the podium in front of reporters, and stated they got their primary guy and a quality guard with the extra pick.

Now all they can say is they got a DB with potential concussion issues who may not even make or play this season.

And some wonder why there are those who question their logic?

That, I must say, is about as impressive a highlight reel on a player as any I've seen. Hoping in a huge way he'll be able to successfully transition his drool-inducing ball-hawk instincts to the professional level.

:2thumbs: A key stated off season goal of Coach Carroll was to find guys that can take the ball away. The 2016 caustic ratio was a problem. An improved caustic ratio should be among the key stories for 2017.

You know it's a good draft, when half the board is whining and crying about the picks.

After seeing Terrell play (sic), what do those 40 times tell you?
