Sheldon Richardson-DT-Missouri. Xavier Rhodes-CB-Florida State. Sylvester Williams-DT-North Carolina. Tyler Eifert-TE-Notre Dame. Cordarrelle Patterson-WR-Tennessee. Kenny Vaccaro-S-Texas. Those players NOT considered to have first round grades include: Bjoern Werner-DE-Florida State. D. J. Fluker-OT-Alabama. Margus Hunt.DE-SMU. Tank Carradine-DL-Florida State. Eric Reid-S-LSU.
Nothing too surprising there. Some people have been worried they are going to take Eric Reid at 18. Looks like they can breath a sigh of relief Sent from my HTC Vivid
I never say why people thought he was that great. To me I say him as a solid, but unspectacular LDE. A white Greg Ellis Sent from my HTC Vivid
Yeah, exactly. He'll hold up against the run and will get his 4-5 sacks. But a game changer? No, not Werner. However, Reid is a kid who is coming out too early. He's got the raw skill but it's like his head's not in game sometimes.
