A couple of picks already this year are perceived reaches, so people are looking back at BB's history of reaches.
Edit: To more observers than I had realized, Harmon is the only major reach.
The ones who I've seen mentioned the most are Mankins, obviously a success, and Tavon Wilson, IMO too early to judge.
Other obvious ones are Vollmer, a 4th round kicker, and a 5th round punter; I'd say all three of those were successes too.
I vaguely remember Deion was reach back in the day, but I'm not really sure.
I don't think Seymour was, the famed Borges rant notwithstanding.
I don't count little things like Kyle Wilson being put one slot above McCourty on most rankings.
So who are the perceived reaches I'm forgetting? When did BB's WTF picks live down to consensus expectations?
Taylor Price, perhaps?
