The former SMU defensive end just got taken by the Titans in the fifth round!

Thompson is the second Mustang to be drafted by Tennessee, which also drafted former SMU defensive back Donald Mitchell. Two other former SMU players - defensive end Kevin Aldridge and tight end John Hampton - signed with the Titans as free agents.

first of many over the next few years. good argument could be made that sterling moore was better than many players that were drafted

I could see Hunt, Davis, Line and Johnson being drafted in 2013.
