Perhaps a first round talented tackle would fall to the second, just as in the scenario a first round talent wide receiver fell to the second round. So, now that all things are equal, id draft a tackle over a WR if we go Burrow 1st.
Also, what “reaches” are you talking about. Ross and Price? Problem with drafting these two wasn’t a ‘reach,’ it’s that they were drafted at all. Also Ross wasn’t filling urgent depth chart need. Should be able to find players with their performance output as undrafted FAs.
Ross filled a need - we needed a guy that could add some speed and stretch the field, but he was a huge reach.
Price filled a need, but many thought he was the consensus 3rd best center. That's a reach.
I'm also talking in general terms. You should always take the #1 player on your board (unless it's a QB and you already have one). Unfortunately, it's hard to do that when you don't use free agency to fill holes on the roster.
