Revisiting the 1st Round Reaches

1st Round Reaches

We are just as guilty as anybody else in that we want to instantly react to the picks as they come off Thursday night of the first round. And with each surprising pick or what we consider to be a reach we give our hot takes. But now that the dust has settled and we have had the time to go back and revisit the 1st Round Reaches to ask ourselves, are those picks still considered reaches anymore?

What we’ve done in this series is we have taken a look back at each of the picks that we considered to be reaches. Based on how the rest of the draft fell, who else each of the teams picks we determine whether or not we still feel that each of those picks is still a reach or does it make a lot more sense.

Oakland Raiders, Pick #4: Clelin Ferrell DE Clemson


New York Giants, Pick #6: Daniel Jones QB Duke


Atlanta Falcons, Pick #14: Chris Lindstrom G Boston College


New York Giants, Pick #17: Dexter Lawrence DT Clemson


Houston Texans, Pick #24: Tytus Howard OT Alabama State


Seattle Seahawks, Pick #29: LJ Collier DE TCU
