Overview

" ...Reid is what teams are looking for at the safety position in 2018. He's a plus size/speed prospect who has the athletic ability to help with man coverage and the instincts and ball skills for ball-hawking duties on the back end. Reid can get himself into some trouble when he's overly aggressive, but his positive plays far outweigh the negative. He has the talent to become an early starter and a good one. Reid's instincts and play traits should make him a safe selection with Pro Bowl potential down the road. ..." By Lance Zierlein ...NFL Analyst

"There aren't too many issues in Justin Reid's game. If he tests well he could sneak into the back half of the first is my guess. He's better in coverage than his brother." -- NFC General Manager

[woodbuck27]

I went for none of those - biggest need IMO is OL, but I don`t see any withing shouting distance at that pick. If Price or Miller had been there, I would have grabbed them.

TE was a solid choice as a Value Pick.

At OLB I'm seeing: Uchenna Nwosu, USC and Ogbonnia 'Bon Bon' Okoronkwo, Oklahoma and depending on how you assess them Vs this Guy or Darius Leonard, S Carolina State:

Hurst was definitely a situation of seeing a player I felt was a much better prospect than anyone else on the board at that moment. He`s devalued by his position. Eifert is still young but availability has been more than a bit of a problem the past 2 seasons (2 games last year, 8 the year before that) so there is a need. With Tyler Croft on the roster Eifert could be trade bait/salary cap casulty if Hurst looks good in camp.

Question for you Woody - why Reid over Harrison?

I do a load of work when I consider a Draft Pick>

See Thread: Packers 2nd Round Mock Draft Packers Pick Poll and SEE Posts:

#7; #11; #15;# 18; #20; #21 and #28.

In a nutshell Safety was a need for the Arizona Cardinals and at Pick NO. 47 you need to look very carefully at the Guy Posted as the TOP 21st Overall Draft Prospect and Ranked there by NFL.Com's Grade Evaluation.

That came right off the TOP.

I saw that Justin Reid was missing from the Packerrat POLL and I assumed that was because even though many Experts deem him as the TOP DB in this Draft he's a Safety and not a CB.

I studied all I could find and Justin Reid VS Safety Prospect Ronnie Harrison. I like DRAFTTEK for some of my DRAFT Analysis and actually there Harrison is slotted in just ahead of Justin Reid and that in spite of having an inferior DRAFT GRADE but Harrisonjust too a fall on their Board. and Reid a slight rise.

I shoved the Puter analysis to the side and look at the Measurables and Tape and Evaluations. I do this every year now for the past decade and a half.

Justin Reid was GRADED = 6.06 Vs Ronnie Harrison = 5.83 NOTE: Safety Jessie Bates, WAKE FOREST is GRADED slightly higher than Ronnie Harrison.

Sources Tell Us (RE: S Ronnie Harrison)

"He's one of the most overrated guys at safety to me. He doesn't really run that well and he doesn't really do anything special in coverage. He's a hitter but you can find hitters." -- AFC Pro Personnel Director

Overview - S Ronnie Harrison:

Combination safety with all the size and athletic traits you could hope for in a safety. Harrison is a fluid athlete with few athletic limitations and has the ability to fit into a variety of defensive schemes. His penchant for flying in shoulder first will need to get cleaned or risk giving up missed tackles and big plays. Harrison's physical approach and urgency in run support gives him a chance to start early.

So he's (Ronnie Harrison) that Christmas Tree still out in the Yard that needs to be thawed and drug into the Home and placed in the stand and balanced to decorate.

Then You study as much Video as you can on Justin Reid VS Ronnie Harrison as some of that Analysis I posted on the Packer Pick NO. 45 POLL Thread.

Now what do I see and the Review on S Ronnie Harrison VS Safety Justin Reid.

Safety Justin Reid:

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/justin-reid?id=32462018-0002-5601-9880-2ac673bf0eed

Look at Reid's Combine Results. Check out the support he gets from the STANFORD Head Coach. It's these incredible Measurables and his Genes and Blood. It's Reids outstanding work ethic and dedication and love of Football. It's his nedd to excel. It's the fact many feel Justin Reid id the most outstanding DB in this DRAFT. It simply all adds up to the FACT that was missed in our POLL and no real consideration for Safety Justin Reid. He was simply put overlooked and I hope if he's on the Board at the Packers NO. 45 Pick they arte smart enough to jump for JOY and pick him.

It's a matter of RISK and at NO. 45 when it's all weighed and done you cannot NOT pick the NO. 21st Ranked Prospect and a DB when your DB position is in ugly shape. You cannot not picj a Justin Reid when your starting Safety and What? Defensive QB just left for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I really don't get it?

Here I'll seal the DEAL and Safety Justin Reid:

Study his Combine Measurables and watch this amazing athlete play Safety. READ this:

It's easy to notice Reid on the field before being aware that his brother is former LSU All-American and NFL Pro Bowl safety Eric Reid, as his physical nature and athleticism pop out immediately. The all-state pick and four-star prospect from Louisiana; Reid contributed in 13 games as a sophomore, starting 10 and earning honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors (57 tackles, four for loss, seven pass breakups). He followed his brother’s example by garnering second-team Associated Press All-American accolades in 2017, while also receiving a first-team all-conference nod, by starting 11 of 14 games, compiling 99 tackles, 6.5 for loss, five interceptions, and six pass breakups. Reid's father, Eric Sr., ran track at LSU and his brother, Ryan, plays soccer at Coastal Carolina.



Overview By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst

" Safety Justin Reid is what teams are looking for at the safety position in 2018.

He's a plus size/speed prospect who has the athletic ability to help with man coverage and the instincts and ball skills for ball-hawking duties on the back end. Reid can get himself into some trouble when he's overly aggressive, but his positive plays far outweigh the negative.

He has the talent to become an early starter and a good one. Reid's instincts and play traits should make him a safe selection with Pro Bowl potential down the road."


What's NOT to like about PROSPECT Safety Justin Reid when your Defensive Backfield is arguably at best NOT the worst in the NFL at present.

The Capper:

So Guiness, with Safety Justin Reid ' that Christmas Tree ' is all decorated and smelling fresh and wonderful in the Home. You come inside, kick off your shoes and pour a nice drink and enjoy his lights.

This evaluation between two prospects was easy as it came to a conclusion. It was a comprehensive PROCESS and exactly what I would expect he Green Bay Packers Draft Team to go through PLUS PLUS if I was running the Show in Green Bay.

As a Packer fan and who I am overall..losing isn't acceptable.

I want him at Pick NO. 45 but he'll not likely be there.

[bobblehead]

In round one the Chargers shored up the OL so Rivers could live a better life. The team (me) promised when they made the pick that they would give him a new target and they breath a sigh of relief as the TE they coveted is still there.

Mike Gesicki had a combine workout for the ages showing the explosiveness, speed and power to replace an ancient hall of famer in Antonio Gates. Gates could be the wily veteran to teach Gesicki the tricks of the trade and how to work with Rivers. Gesicki has more raw ability than any TE in this draft and had a top 5 all time workout for the position at the combine.

Rivers to Gates should be replaced by Rivers to Gesicki as the 2 gain comfort.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS – PICK #49

The Colts still need help at a lot of positions, even after getting CB, WR, and ER already in this draft. They could still use another DL – Rasheem Green is a possibility at this pick. OL Austin Corbett, Frank Ragnow or Martinas Rankin could also be considered.

The Colts are really thin at RB. They have Marlon Mack and not much else. Christine Michael is probably RB #2 right now.

“Marlon Mack and the Retreads” is not the RB group you want behind Andrew Luck.

The Colts have their choice of the second tier RBs. Nick Chubb, Kerryon Johnson, and Rashaad Penny are all good value here. Penny is slightly faster than the other 2 (under 4.5 in the 40) and still has good size at 220. He also has had 7 kick returns for touchdowns in the last 3 seasons.

That's a nice Pick. He should be productive for 'the Colts'. He's a whole lot of Running Back.

They drafted Hunter Henry with the 35th overall pick two years ago to be that guy.
