Reed didn't get off blocks for all his ability to anchor. Payne needs a better repertoire than the slap and swim but that he was able to use it to get free consistently speaks well for him.
You sound exactly like the people that were poo-pooing Ramsey a couple years ago. He's now the best young corner in the game.
Here's a pretty good scouting report on Reed and some quality run numbers highlighting his ability to get off blocks and make plays.
"
Ranked second in the nation with a +39.9 grade against the run and led all interior defensive linemen in run stop percentage at 13.4 percent
WHAT HE DOES BEST:
• Technique is excellent, rarely caught off balance or moved off the point of attack
• Handles double teams better than most defensive tackles in the class
• Excellent at two-gapping, finding the ball, and making the play
• Can play head up on blockers, whether against centers, guards, or tackles. Brings versatility to the DLine against the run
• Five batted passes tied for third in the nation among interior defensive linemen"
