First, you just advocated reaching based on need by taking Clady.

Second, Gholston wouldn't be a reach.

Third, 7 of the Top 10 players in this draft play defense.

My whole point is the later we wait to address a position where we need starters NOW the less likely we'll get players ready to start NOW. ----before you say it I'm not saying that means we will win now.

I'm fine with taking Long IF he's there.

I'm not fine with reaching for Clady or Otah based on need, when we'd be passing on some combination of Dorsey, Ellis, Gholston, etc.

Not one single person on this board has even implied taking Otah at #5, not one, so drop that please. You've beat it to death. If anyone wants Otah, it's on a trade down scenario.

As for Clady, I guess if you consider that a reach, but whatever.

Here's how I look at it.

There are elite prospects at the the top of the board.

The 2 Longs, Dorsey, Ellis, Gholston, Mcfadden, and Ryan.

Clady is in the next level.

If you select a guy that isn't in that elite prospect category, then he absolutely is a reach.

You need to go read DraftPlanet if you actually believe no one is advocating taking Otah at 5.

After his name popped up on a mock draft at 5, people started trying to justify it.

And Clady IS a reach if Dorsey or Ellis ( or even Matt Ryan) are still on the board.
