Not trying to rag on the guy, but do yall really think he is a first round safety??

I really don't know if he is better than Curtis Taylor

I am not trying to negative for the sake of it, I am mean I like what he brings to the table, and like the guy as far as I can conclude....

But 1rst round?

And nothing to do with Clemson game, I have said this to peopel I know all season

Clemson was his best game of the year imo. He was violent. That said, NO to answer your question but thats just me. He's a physical specimen so Im sure NFL teams see things we dont such as potential.

Last season, YES....this season, not so much...he had a horrible 2012 season. He is a really good guy and a good prospect but I personally think Claiborne, Taylor, and TM7 helped him out a bunch last season which enabled him to roam and make more plays.

He'll test out of his mind at the combine. He's a physical freak and will most likely run in the low 4.5s. If he can get to a 4.4 it's a no-brainer. NFL scouts and coaches are some of the cockiest people on the planet. They've never seen a physical freak they couldn't coach up.

He will light up the combine, which could push him into round 1. I think Reid is better than the way he played this yr, but not a first rounder.

He's behind Elam and vaccarro. Reid might slide to the second round imo

Roman Harper Jr.

Excellent in Run support.

A liability in pass coverage.

He was just out of position this year. Hanagriff talked about this after the Arky game. He wasn't asked to do too much last year because Taylor was there to make all the reads and checks allowing Reid to just play the game.

I'd be interested to see how he turns his hips (no homo) at the combine. He's a bad arse dude and a quality person. I'm not sure how he's going to test out in the combine on those coverage drills.

He'll have much better support cast at the next level. He was trying to cover too much to make up for other guys out of position

NFL teams won't ask him to play man on slot WRs, and that should eliminate a lot of his issues IMO. he's better staying deep in pass coverage. not sure what to say about the horrible angles he took on a couple plays though, esp that Ole Miss slant that he let go for 6.

I can't see a team using a 1st rd pick on him. His biggest asset is hard-hitting run support. When teams need help in run support, they draft in the front 7, not a safety.

Hmm, If he is successful in the pros, maybe he could be a nice fit with Pittsburgh.. a Polamalu... and if he could be that, definitely a 1rst round....but is he that?????? or Curtis Taylor - Roman Harper

I think a better Craig Steltz more so than Curt Taylor. Reid's nowhere near the ballhawk that Polamalu is, but then few are.
