When all is said and done, the NFL drafts typically largely going according to form. My guess is 90% of the players who are consenus top 3 round picks, go in the top 3 rounds, just mostly in a much different order than people mock.
Every draft has a couple of percieved "reaches". This year in the second round Brenton Strange, DJ Johnson, and Broderic Martin all looked to be big reaches.
In the the last 20 years of the NFL, are teams ever rewarded for "reaching"? Any prominent examples of players who were considered "reaches" who made the GM who reached look like genius?
