Terrell Edmunds: Biggest NFL Draft Reach Since 2016

0:00On April 28th, the NFL consensus bigboard just named former Pittsburgh's dealer safety to rail Edmonds as the biggest non-quarterback draft reach. Since 2016, Pig 28 overall out of Virginia Tech back in 2018, he was supposed to be a cornerstone for the black and gold. Edmonds stuck around Pittsburgh for his first five seasons, suiting up in 79 games. He posted 410 tackles, 5 sacks, 5 picks, and 26 passes knocked away. But he never quite matched those first round hype. Levels. Plenty of Steelers fans remember the disappointment, as his play didn't elevate the secondary like hoped. Impact-wise, it left a gap they filled with later picks, sparking endless debates on draft risks. After bouncing from Pittsburgh, he signed a one-year deal with the Eagles in 2023. Got traded to the Titans that year, hit the Jaguars. In 2024, returned to the Steelers for five games, and even played one snap for the Raiders last season.

1:00The list rounds out with tackles like Titus Howard at 23rd to Houston in 2019. Jack Conklin, 8th to Tennessee in 2016. Gar Cole Strange, 29th to New England in 2022, and Corner Eli Abel, 10th to the Giants that same year. Proving reaches Haunt. Teens for years, but Pittsburgh's fresh 2026 moves might flip the script.
