DT Caraun Reid, Princeton -- Quick confession: my favorite thing about watching Caraun Reid's tape in 2012 was watching future-Chief Mike Catapano wreak havoc on the edge. Good lord, Catapano looked big and fast. As for Reid, many of the same things that made folks love Catapano is what Reid has going for him. At 6'3", and just north of 300 lbs, he's an extremely nimble athlete (ran a 4.9 at the Combine) with good explosion. His 2013 tape is underwhelming, and that's a concern, suggesting that a lot of his buzz came from having Catapano draw attention to the edges, but there's no denying that he's similar to Catapano in that he's a physical specimen who will need time to be groomed. He could go as soon as the 4th round, but I think he's more of a 6th rounder.
