Top 5 Reaches & Values in 1st round

  • I went back and looked at the draft results this morning and there were a few things that stood out- there were some BIG reaches and some real value. Here's what I thought were the top 5 of both. Curious to see what ya'll think as well.

    REACH

    1. Bruce Irvin- 14- Seattle: Their arms are probably still sore
    2. Kevin Zeitler- 27- Cincinnati: This guy was a late second rounder at best. They pick Glenn here and they have the best 1st round (picked Kirkpatrick at 17- great pick imo) out of everyone, yet instead they wet the bed.
    3. Brandon Weeden- 22- Cleveland- SMH here. Could've easily gotten him with the 37th overall pick.
    4. Mark Baron- 7- Tampa Bay: Very good player, just to high at 7 imo.
    5. Stephon Gilmore-10- Buffalo: Again, a good player, but not top 10.

    VALUE

    1. David DeCastro- 24- Pittsburgh: SHOCKED he fell as far as he did. Everyone thought he had top 15 talent. Real steal.
    2. Reilly Reiff- 23- Detroit: Pretty much the same feeling as DeCastro. Great pick imo.
    3. Dre Kirkpatrick- 17- Cincinnati: Top ten talent that fell to 17
    4. Melvin Ingram- 18- San Diego: Again, great pick at 18.
    5. Michael Brockers- 14- Saint Louis: Kid is going to be a beast. STL has made some great moves so far.

    I don't think there were 10 guys who were worth 1st round picks in this years' draft and yet some stupid GMs reached even further back than normal.

    I don't understand what Cincy was thinking. Stupid.

    Love the DeCastro pick. Same with you on Reiff......

    I'm not sold on Ingram...not sure where he plays, but he looks like a 3-4 OLB to me??

    Truthfully, this draft had 4-5 1st rounders, about 60 second rounders and a bunch of late rounders. Not much talent out there this year.

    Weeden=Wincke(sp?). Baron, Gilmore, and Irvin were way too high. Ingram will be the best pick aside from Richardson. You never know about first pick QBs, but Luck seems to have it.
