Yeah me too
The Eric Reid syndrome.
I liked the Reid pick. But like these guys I was mad for a minute. I have less feels now.

2 of 4 CBS mock drafts had him as a Top 20 pick, 1 more had him at #30. People need to stop calling him a reach, just because you don't know the name doesn't mean the people whose jobs are on the line are equally clueless.

The guy tackles pretty smart. Doesn't seem like he cares about taking out someones knees. No Dashon Goldson.

I didn't hear a single person on TV even call this guy a reach, I don't understand where that's coming from?

For those questioning this move, the 49ers just knocked out two needs in one player.
Slot corner? Check.
Backup safety to develop and groom to replace Bethea? Check.
It was a good move to acquire a quality, versatile defensive back with a mean streak, I wouldn't consider it a reach either, what Philly did was a lot more of a reach IMO.
This.

seriously! I was calling for his name before the pick was made because I couldn't believe he was still available. Built like a CB and hits like a safety! whats not to love. only knock on him was he is from a small school but NIU has been coming lately

Some excerpts from Jimmie Ward's Scouts Inc. profile.
Cover Skills-2-Quick, balanced athlete with good body control, but has a touch of stiffness in hips and has good but not elite top-end playing speed. Bit high in pedal but shows solid burst out of pedal, and also closes quickly in short area. Offers versatility with extensive experience working both in slot (man and zone) and at high-point (as man-free centerfielder). Good in press coverage. Physical. Can improve technique, but usually good job making contact and re-routing.
Ball Skills-2-Good overall ball skills. Can pluck away from frame. Strong hand-eye coordination. Quick to adjust and has good body control. Has been late locating over shoulder on occasion. Production matches skill set: 11 career INTs and dangerous with ball in hands (see: INT return vs. EIU 2013).

People thought Aldon and Eric Reid were reaches too. Baalke does not miss on defense.

He's not a popular or sexy name so a bunch of people predictably freaked out and began calling him a "reach" as a defensive mechanism because if they don't know his name, he obviously can't be good.
