The San Francisco 49ers signed first-round draft pick Eric Reid, who announced his signing on Twitter.
Reid, a safety who was the 18th overall selection in the draft, wrote on Twitter, “Beyond blessed! Officially a 49ER!” Reid included a link to an Instagram picture of him signing.
The 49ers traded their first- and third-round picks (No. 31 and No. 74) to the Cowboys to move up to No. 18 to draft Reid, who left LSU after his junior year to turn pro.
Reid has a shot to land a starting job immediately because last year’s starting free safety, Dashon Goldson, signed with Tampa Bay as a free agent.
The 49ers have all 11 of their draft picks under contract.
