Eric Reid, Safety, LSU
So the 49ers decided to address a need area after all in the first round, moving up to the 18th pick to select LSU safety Eric Reid. At 6'1 and over 210 pounds, Reid is an intimidating presence in the middle of the field. He's a punishing down hill tackler, although not always a consistent one. A balanced safety, Reid can play both the run and the pass and should be a starter for years to come. He is a tough, smart football player that seems to fit the mold head coach Jim Harbaugh likes. Reid described himself as being"cerebral." A knock on Reid is he tends to be over aggressive at times and will find himself out of position because of it. The team must have seen him as a cut above the remaining safeties still on the board (i.e. Cyprien, Elam) and history shows when Trent Baalke identifies his guy, he's not afraid to go and get him.
Overall, Reid is a good pick for the Niners and his style of play fits well into their defensive system. Reid should be expected to start at free safety right away, filling the void left by the departure of Dashon Goldson. He'll be paired with Donte Whitner to give the 49ers a tandem of hard hitting safeties that will make opposing receivers think twice about going over the middle. An elite athlete, he can play in or out of the box with equal authority and will continue improve as a football player as he grows within the team's scheme. Reid projects to be a key component of the secondary for a long time, whether he remains at free safety or eventually moves to strong safety down the road (a position some think he may be better suited for).
