One of the most fearsome defensive linemen in all of college football is headed to Seattle.

Moments ago, the Seahawks selected former Alabama defensive end Jarran Reed with the 49th overall pick, making him the fourth Crimson Tide player to come off the board in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft.

The 6-foot-3, 307-pound second-team All-SEC selection has the physical tools to have an immediate impact for Seahawks as a rookie and could prove to be a disruptive force for years to come.

A tremendous run defender, Reed possesses the ideal strength bully guards on the inside and the speed to rush the edge and can chase down opposing running backs.

“There is no doubt that Reed is ready to defend the run as a pro,” wrote Charlie Campbell of WalterFootball.com. “He is very strong at the point of attack and offensive linemen can’t push him out of his gap. Reed eats up blockers and holds his ground against downhill runs. With his strength, he is skilled at shedding blocks and chasing down ball-carriers outside of his gap. Reed has the size and build to be a nose tackle who eats up double teams.

“In the pass rush, Reed will need development. He has a strong bull rush, but he needs more moves to break free from blockers. Reed has quickness and athleticism, so the skill set is there to develop. Thus, he has a shot at being a three-down defender. As a rookie though, Reed probably will come out of the game in passing situations.”

In two seasons with Alabama, Reed recorded 111 tackles (11.0 for loss), 2.0 sacks, and seven pass deflections. He also recovered one fumble.
