    I certainly hope he turns out to be a player because lord knows we need the help at the CB position. His highlight tape sure shows his intensity and great drive on the ball and a willingness to tackle. Kid was on the all conference academic team for several years as well. It really surprises me that a kid like this lasts until so late in the draft. Obviously has the physical tools with a solid 40 time and tremendous explosion with his 41 inch vertical. He was a state 110 hurdle and long jump champion in high school. Having the 3rd lowest completion % of any DB in the country doesn't just happen by mistake. It shows that he is able to stay tight with the WRs and contest balls. I'm putting my money on the fact that this Mr. Irrelevant is going to make our team.

    Nah, Reed was expected to go in the mid 5th to early 6th. Kid also runs a sub 4.4 40 and was one of the guys who had higher productivity than most of the day 1 and 2 corners. 4 ints, 2 ff, 2 fr, return for TD and also was a main component of a team that had only won 4 games in the last 3 seasons. 0-12 in 2012, 1-11 in 2013, 3-9 in 2014 to 9-5 last season. Losses were to Mississippi State, Nebraska, Washington, Marshall and the C-USA Champs Western Kentucky. In essence he was one of the keys to their turn around.

    I'm trying to figure out why he slipped so far.

    Never seen this kid play but just watching that video, he doesn't seem to wrap up well on tackles. Maybe it's just that video
