So is this just a matter of semantics, regardless of the reality of how these players are viewed by the teams or how they end up working out? Your definition of "reach" is tied to the media's collective take? I would think that would doom you to being wrong a lot.
But fine, if you want us to call Wilson a reach by your narrow definition, OK, he's a reach.
I personally don't believe in the concept of draft "reaches", or "steals" for that matter. Regardless of the countless man-hours put in by the Kipers and McShays of the world, they're not the subject matter experts, who btw put in the same hours. And even then, the subject matter experts are wrong a lot, too, else every pick made by every team would work out subject to the order in which the player was picked. Like many have said in this thread, it's an inexact science, which is why the guy the collective expects to last until round 5 or round 7 or UFA may not actually be there then.
In one of Mel Kiper's 2010 mocks, he had Ricky Sapp slated for the Patriots at 22. And of course, every round thereafter that Sapp slipped past the Pats' pick caused outrage on this site. Sapp finally got picked up at 134 by the Eagles, and is now on to his second team. Had the Patriots done as the Kipers suggested and taken Sapp at 22, the Pats fans would be mollified, but the Pats would be no better off, probably unloading him in two years just like Philly did. But at least he wouldn't have been a "reach", right?
Wilson visited with the Chargers (49), Falcons (55), Bucs (58) and Ravens (60). Maybe the collective thinks he would have slipped past all of them for several rounds, but Belichick didn't think so.
I'd rather that he got the player he was targeting, rather than the consolation prize of knowing he didnt reach. If Wilson sucks, you can always crucify Belichick later.
