Wideouts Zipping Off Board In Third

Beginning with the Cowboys taking Derrick Williams out of Penn State, five out of six wide receivers went of the board from 82 through 87.  

After Williams, the Patriots took Brandon Tate from North Carolina, Pittsburgh took Mike Wallace from Mississippi, the Giants took giant Ramses Barden (6-6) from Cal-Poly and the Dolphins took Patrick Turner, a 6-5 wideout from USC that Mel Kiper and Todd McShay on ESPN both ripped into as being a stiff.

Kiper went on to say he's seen more "reaches" in the third round today than he has in 20 years.

Everyone, of course, remembers the great "Third Round Reachapalooza" back in 1989.
