49ers have a few options.
Reid was nothing more than a passing mention by any of the 49er beat writers. He didn't even get a workout, but as Baalke said, "Why would he want to tip off other teams who he was interested in".
I think the Niners moved up when the Saints took Vaccaro. They would have been happy with either but as soon as there was only one left they wanted to be sure to get one of them. And they probably preferred Reid - they need a FS to replace Goldson and Harbaugh had actually aggressively tried to recruit Reid to Stanford.
As for what is next, the way the draft turned out, I think there are a few players they would be more than happy to get (Carradine, Ertz, Hunt, Cyprien were all mentioned at times as potential 49er 31 or 34 picks, and a CB isn't out of the question) . So depending upon the market, I think they would be wanting to move back a few spots.
If no trades back, expect either Carradine or Ertz to be the pick.
