I havent liked what ive seen from Reid this year. I havent put a video up yet but he has not played well. Against North Texas he blew coverage twice that cost LSU both the TD's. Hasnt been the difference maker he was last year. Although I have to say only 2 guys have looked good to me so far for LSU ,LB Kevin Minter and Sam Montgomery. Sam really only played well against Auburn but looked like the best player on the field. Mingo hasnt recorded a sack yet but he has been disruptive. I wonder if these guys are just sleep walking so far. Maybe the close call against Auburn will wake them up
Reid's a hell of a tackler, but imo I don't think he brings enough to the table coverage wise to warrant a first round pick much less trade up to get him...Also imo the safety position itself doesn't even really warrant a 1st round pick unless they're names are Polamalu and Reed and none of these guys are at that level.
For my money I'll take FSU's Lamarcus Joyner in the 3-4 round range (drops due to his lack of size). He's a much more dynamic player imo as he has the skills to drop in to the nickel and play man 2 man on a WR....Also he play's bigger then his listed 5'8" 195 due in part to very long arms, pound for pound strength and high level acceleration.
But if you were dead set on picking a safety ealry I'd wait till the 2nd round for for guys like Vaccaro, McDonald and Rambo as I don't think there's to great a gap between them and Reid....But once again my guy's Joyner in the 3-4 range
I meant for LSU, yes. It seems like the winner of Alabama and LSU will be in the National Title game and then Oregon, FSU, WV id say in that order have the best opportunity if they win out. FSU's schedule to me is a joke. I really dont think they should play for a championship even if they go undefeated. Clemson is the best team they will play. Dont get me wrong CLemsons good but they arent a Top 10 team.
U like Joyner 2. I really wonder what NFL Scouts will think of him.He has huge value on special teams as a return man and gunner so I know he will get drafted before the 5th round. I wonder if they will view him as a starter. He is such a good player the only thing holding him back is that he is under 5'8". He is always lurking around on every play. U see my vid of him vs Notre Dame.Going to make another 2 just not enough plays yet to do it. How great was Nigel Bradham in this game

Obviously his height will be his major draw back, but he makes up for it with physicallity, aggressiveness and instincts for the game and I'll take a guy with those intangibles any day over a guy who may be 2-3 inches taller. There have been 5'8 safety's before in B. Sanders, Jim leonhard ect so i see no reason why Joyner can't be the next undersized safety to have some success.
I honestly see LSU slipping up at some point.. There defense was really good, but there offense is bad.. I can see a defense scoring or getting in scoring positon from turnovers and LSU losing a close one or 2.. I was so unimpressed with LSU last week against AUBURN, its not even funny.. I think LSU is gonna have to watch out against MISS St and BAMA, as well as possibly A&M... I think they lose 2of those 3... Shoot, South Carolina could easily score on defense a couple times aginst LSU...
i think u guys are under estimating Reid alitte.. Sure, he brings the thump on tackles and i've seen him force fumbles on Special teams and from the S spot, but hes also made some tremendsous plays against the pass as well.. I believe it was Reid who made that huge PICK against future NFL TE Michael Williams in the first bama/lsu contest last yr, wrestling it away from the monster sized TE... Also, i've seen him really anticipate on another pick cutting across the field and picking the pass and then running all in one motion, showing great awarness and instincts.. I think hes a complete S and easily a 1st rd talent.. Albeit, i love Kenny Vaccaro as well, but i also think Vaccaro is a 1st rd talent.. Shoot, i think Baccari Rambo is close to a 1st rd talent, that is gonna somehow go in the 3rd rd range, which is utterly insane! I tell ya what, whoever gets Rambo that late, straight up got the steal of the draft.. Every time i watched GA last yr, he was making plays.. But that is to take nothing away from Reid, because i think there are about 4-5safteys that are 1st rd talents this yr, regardless of where people have them projected to go... I woulden't be surprised if 5safteys went in the first rd and a half...
