Last year, as the Detroit Lions made some surprising picks, rumors kept popping up that the players they took were about to get selected by another team. They grabbed Frank Ragnow—a perceived mild reach—right before the Bengals and Patriots were targeting him. They sniped Kerryon Johnson right before Washington was going to take him. And Tracy Walker, perhaps their biggest “reach” of all, was reportedly going to go to the Panthers three picks later.
As fans continue to scratch their head of their 2019 second-round pick Jahlani Tavai, some rumors have already started to creep out that they may have taken a player the New England Patriots were interested in taking.
