Yes, and no. Thompson ended up starting the Sugar Bowl and NCG when Hootie Jones went down against Auburn. So there is at least some experience back at safety. Corner will be a concern.
Correct. Saban defenses blitz a lot and play a lot of man coverage. A great athlete can play corner and get burned if his technique is not good, and corner is a position where there is no substitution for experience. So hell yes it is a concern. If Bama faces an elite qb early before these guys get a decent amount of playing time, then Bama could easily lose one early.
