Yes, I call that a reach. 

On your board you have:

Player A graded at 88
Player B graded at 85

However all the other teams have Player B as a first rounder just below your pick, and Player A as a second rounder below your pick on the other teams boards.

You can either draft Player B in the first, and then draft Player A in the second by not reaching, and only using your draft board.  Or you can draft Player A in the first, and not have the opportunity to draft Player B in the second (because he's already been drafted.)  The second option is reaching, and costs you the opportunity to add another highly graded player to your team by not being aware of the other teams draft boards.
