Reid is not a difference maker at safety. You don't trade up for that. Absolutely horrific approach in trying to address our current crisis at the safety position
I'll join the "bleh" pick on this. We didn't give up the farm but we could have had this guy by not moving up. I thought we could have gotten a comparable safety later and gone with more depth up front on defense. Not a fan but at least we're still loaded up for round 2.
I don't like this pick at all. I also like Reid, but that is too early for him. He's a guy we probably could have waited for in the mid-second and would likely be there. I was resigned to taking him at 34 which I'd be okay with.
49ers have reportedly been linked to Reid since October. Yeah, October. I'd have been fine and quite happy with Cyprien, too. Or Swearinger or Elam. Dang. Baalke and company continually get aggressive, maybe too aggressive I'd say, in moving around the draft to nail somebody they want.
