Draft Analysis
Reid is an excellent value at this point in the draft. He's a disruptive three-technique who has the quick hands and feet to make an early impact rushing the passer. He can get engulfed in the run game, but he played with better pad level last year than he did in 2012 and he's capable of making plays in the backfield.
Defensive Tackle Specific Traits
Versus the Run 3 One gap defender that shows an adequate anchor. Played with much better pad level and leverage in 2013. Still will get engulfed by double teams at times Flashes above-average upper body power and heavy hands. Lack ideal length to keep blocker off of frame but he's quality hand fighter in a phone booth. Adequate eyes and instincts finding and reacting to the ball.
Pass Rush Skills 2 Possesses a lot of upside in this area. Above-average quickness and fires off the ball with good leverage. Displays a wide variety of pass rushing moves. Above-average explosiveness converting speed-to-power. Flashes as a counter puncher but still has room for development. Above-average closing burst.
Quickness (hands/feet) 2 Excellent first step and can win with initial quickness. Quick and heavy hands and improved his hand to hand combat as a senior. Adequate lateral agility and redirect ability. Above-average range.
Toughness/Motor 3 When fresh plays through the whistle and shows good in pursuit. Tough and not afraid to mix it up. Fights to keep pads square at the point of attack. Can show more of a nasty side. Overall endurance and motor is adequate but not elite.
