Biggest steal for all teams in last 5 years - ESPN Insider

[Scooby-Doo]

Should've been taken ahead of the 4 guys who went higher. You usually don't get a guy that good at 5 unless the draft is really top heavy (he was #1 overall on my big board by the way).

Also, it's the Lions. It's not like they have a ton of steals to which they can compare.

I just don't look at the 5th overall pick as a steal

So who would you have picked?

Calling the 5th overall pick a steal is stupid. That was my point.

I know this says 5 years, but Geno Atkins ( 2010 ) has been the bigger steal for the Bengals than George Iloka. Arguably one of the best; if not the best defensive tackles in the league and we drafted him in the 4th. Fantastic value pick.

They mention Tyler Lockett in the 3rd but don't say anything about Kam in the 5th. I don't know man

I liked the Houston & Johnson picks in the 3rd. KC & the Cards pick. I would have loved to get either one of those in the 3rd.

Biggest steal for the Texans:

The money they stole from the fans who bought tickets for that playoff game against Kansas City.

Vontaze Burfict was an UDFA. I guess that disqualifies him from this list, but still...

Yeah whoever did this list is either the laziest sports writer I have ever seen or more likely somebody who has no idea about actual sports but was told to write the article anyway and just went with the biggest name they could think of on any given team.

Geno Atkins was a steal for sure. Perhaps the best defensive player the Bengals have.

IDK if 2011 is included (5 years not including this year's) but I would think Richard Sherman in 6th round is a bigger steal than Russell Wilson.

Also, might be a homer pick but Micah Hyde 6th round for Packers. 68th As rookie, he was returner and defense.
