As someone mentioned, Reid's struggles against Clemson were a result of Morris' scheming that matched himm up on Nuk. There's not a CB in the nation who can cover Nuk let alone a S.

Having said that, Reid has been underwhelming the entire season, especially in the tackling department. I've never seen someone wrap-up less. He made Laron look like the most disciplined tackler of all-time.

If he can learn to take better angles and wrap-up he can have a solid NFL career. He's not a first rounder, however, IMO.

I believe he is a 1st rounder. I guess we will find out. I believe he is a better player than he showed this year. Reid is super smart and will pick up any NFL scheme thrown at him. I think Reid will be a better pro than a college player because of how smart he is. It will be interesting to see.

He's a high hitter, not a tackler. Probably will have to make his niche in special teams. He still has a lot of development to be very good on the next level IMO

I'm not going to argue the round. I think he'll be close to the end of the first, but we'll see soon enough. The money isn't in wrapping up anymore; it's in dealing violence, breaking the will, and reaping turnovers - especially in the NFL.
