NFL Media's Lance Zierlein compares Kansas State DB D.J. Reed to Detroit Lions DB Jamal Agnew.
Agnew was a fifth-round pick in last year's draft, and that's right around where Reed is projected to go in this year's. Zierlein raves about the 5-foot-9, 188-pound cornerback's instincts, and that his speed and vision could make him an asset in the return game. The question is whether or not Reed can handle anything but the slot position because of his size, and he gets turned around too often in coverage. Still, Reed's size makes him a prototypical slot corner, and that position becomes more valuable every year in the NFL.
