The Broncos have picked CB Syd’Quan Thompson out of California with the 225th pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft.  Thompson is a tad small at 5’9″, 182 pounds and he’s a tad slow running a 4.55 40 but he plays a lot better than those numbers suggest.  When the lights are on Thompson plays much bigger than his size and he’s much faster than his timed speed.  Give the Broncos’ scouts credit for watching a lot of film on this guy.  Thompson played in 13 games (all starts) at California in which he had 49 tackles, broke up 10 passes and he had 1 interception.  Thompson played in 52 games (all starts) in his four years at California in which he had 257 tackles, he broke up 36 passes, had 7 interceptions (204 return yards), forced 1 fumble and he recovered 2 fumbles.  Thompson will likely be a special teams ace for the Broncos as he was a solid punt returner in college.  Many projected Thompson to be drafted in the 3rd or 4th round so the Broncos got another steal here late in the draft.
