Round 1:
Nnambi Asomugha, Safety, Cal Bears:
Fifth ranked safety, drafted to play corner and all the top ranked corners were gone (if you consider Eguene Wilson a corner).
Tyler Brayton, DE:
Was drafted before higher-ranked Chris Kelsay, Cory Redding, and DeWayne White. Worked out well for the Raiders before they moved him to OLB.
Osi Umenyiora, DE:
22nd ranked defensive end coming out of Troy (by Scout). Drafted in the second round. Worked out well for the Rams.
Anquan Boldin, WR:
19th ranked wideout taken with the 54th pick.
Dallas Clark, TE:
Second best tight end coming out of Iowa was drafted by Indy before top ranked Jason Witten.
Terrance McGee, DB:
Fourth round pick was ranked bellow the top 20 for CBs.
Assante Samuel, DB:
Projected sixth to seventh rounder taken in the fourth round by the Pats.
Lance Nimmo, OT:
Not even ranked amongst offensive tackles, but was taken in the fourth round.
Yeah, its not all of them but they are some of the most obvious. Sometimes these reaches turn out to be better than what the media gives them credit for.
