It does have a definition.
However it’s entirely based on subjective opinion that fans think is factual.
I can’t believe this is an actual discussion.

Anybody picked before a fan wants him to have been picked is a reach. Doesn't matter that the teams board could have had him going 10 picks earlier
Reach is the worst used and likely the most arrogantly used word by fans in draft season.
And the scary thing is the fans are right sometimes. 
Something something broken clock. Hell I'm right sometimes on draft picks tooAnd the scary thing is the fans are right sometimes.
Highly unlikely. If nothing else, Panthers are almost guaranteed to take the best WR left at 33. He would seem like a great fit with them.
A year ago many experts thought we “reached” for Turner & Young. Now they’d go 1st round in a redraft.
Puka would go top 5-10 in a redraft. Less than a year after being a 5th round afterthought.
The draft is fun. But it’s not a science. It’s almost comical to look back on drafts and see the picks, comments, analysis, etc. Let alone the “mock drafts”.

Well, remember some of the former picks the Rams made? I used keep track of my picks back in the Devanney days. After a few years, I had built a better roster. I know that isn’t saying much, considering who I who it was, but some GMs make some consistently bad choices, and Devanney was an NFL GM.
I also think most fans were right about Tutu. So, I always think there is merit in fan opinions. In the end, it doesn’t matter. But it’s fun to play GM and Scout.
One thing we have going for us is we don't have to deal with the players. So if you want to cut so-and-so you don't have to sit him down, look him in the eye, and do that. Or if a young player isn't developing we don't know what things he's dealing with that stand in the way of it, or we haven't invested time and effort in getting that light to turn on for him. Which in the end means we judge players purely off what we see on the field and that does have some value at times for it.
It makes me laugh when people reason that because someone is a highly-paid professional they must be good at their job.
In the US, you have the NFL and other sports to prove otherwise; over here, we have the Premier League.
And that’s without going into politics, business, etc.
Just because someone is paid to do something, doesn’t mean that they’re good at it.
I've read he's an excellent gunner on special teams. Could help with kick returns too if the rules change.

I know that I had a few bosses that weren’t good at their jobs. They were making three times what I was, so they must have known what they were doing….right?

I’d be happy with this pick. I’d like Q. Mitchell a bit better but he’s likely gone.
Right now it looks like it would be nearly impossible for any teams GM to screw up this years first round pick. But, I’m sure someone will. I pray that it’s not Les.

Totally true. I do think we have significantly less bone heads at GM than we did 20 years ago. Some of those guys, sheesh!
"Guy big, run fast 40, me drafty him in top 10 Me try fix everything in free agency"
Right now, it's just hard to come up with a better player that I'm almost sure will be on the board at #19.
lol! You stole my line!
I always say, “just because they pay you to do a job it doesn’t mean you’re good at it.”
I usually use the set up:
Have you ever had your car worked on and it still doesn’t run right?
Have you ever gone out to dinner and the food was lousy?
Have you ever seen a movie and thought it sucked?
…THAT’S when you hit ‘em with that line—hopefully an overpaid, dick nose manager.
I'd be fine with that. Prefer LT > Edge > Corner > WR in that order all things equal but what matters is hitting on the pick more than anything else. This team needs difference makers to take that next step. It's obviously not hard to get to the playoffs with a coach like McVay, but taking that next step to a contender that has a good chance of winning it all will require some top level additions.
It's not really a matter of whether or not teams nail every pick when it comes to "reaching."
It's just that no one has access to the 32 different draft board (opinions) that matter to be completely sure whether a media consensus top rated player would be available at a later selection.
