In college he played free+ nickel and a small bit of box.

Reaves is a guy who also played dual roles in college and projects well at both spots in the NFL. With how the NFL is now the difference between free and strong is very overstated. Although the falcons do use a true free safety so probably better to get the right fit.

Dual role or not, this isn't college anymore. Reaves poor speed wouldn't concern you in coverage? Byard ran a 4.44/40 and Amos ran an even faster 4.37/40 those guys were extremely athletic. Reaves ran a much slower 4.66/40 at his pro day. To me, that mixed with his ability to knock out opposing ball carriers, screams Strong Safety.

Dual roles is what most of the NFL plays now so the positions are less pronounced.  Experience at both spots in college helps.  

Actually just saw his results now. Yeah that wouldn't fill me with hope that he'll have the range for single high but fine with him in 2 high playing dual roles. As said above with falcons playing more single high than most you guys are right that he would be less of a fit.
