I just think it is funny that when a player is taken higher than all the "experts" predict the team is accused of "reaching", but when a guy is ndrafted much later than all the "experts" predict no one ever claims that all 32 teams were wrong and the "experts" were correct.

That's not entirely true.  The experts often play the medical or character cards at that point, stating it is purely because the expert doesn't have access to the doctors or background research, but continue to state that the player would still be a round X pick otherwise.
