I think we still need to see how they do drafting so late in the rounds. For the most part though, I think when you pick late like that you have more wiggle room for "reaches" as there isn't much difference in the prospects from 25-45 and at that point it's really just preference and fit.
I think Duke made a good point in saying when you pick late like that you have a much wider net of prospects vs when you pick in the top 5 and you really only have a couple options. Even if you may like more, you can't take them at pick 3 because of perception (GM's should be able to if they can withstand the "backlash" from the media and fans for the "reach") and all the other check marks supposedly needed to be a "top 5 pick".
