What I think:

1. Theo Johnson, TE ( (4th round, #107), NY Giants
2. Cooper Beebe, Guard, (3rd Round, #73), Dallas Cowboys
3. Braelon, Running Back, (4th round, #134), NY Jets
4. Cooper DeJean, CB/S, (2nd round, #40), Eagles
5. Brock Bowers, TE, (1st round, #13), Raiders
Braelon's last name is Allen

I'm confused. You linked to an article listing steals of the draft that did not include any Giants and then you proceed to list your own steals?
Don't be confused, Eric ...

I'm simply comparing what the experts think vs. what an ignorant man like me think (not that it counts for much).

I wanted Brock Bowers bad, but this Johnson kid, I think he gonna be a star for the Giants
This indeed a very strange thread...

The link is to a USA Today article with the top steals (w/no NYG players), but the OP lists his.

I'll say this about the article, I do agree with Payton Wilson and Adonai Mitchell were really good value.

I fear the steal of the draft is the first rounder for the ISIS Eagles - Quinyon Mitchell. I viewed him as a top five talent and could be the next corner stud in the NFL.

Same with Dallas' Cooper Beebe ...

In his highlight, (he's not on this experts list) but the dude is knocking people on their asses, all over the place
These types of articles are stupid  
Sky King : 4/30/2024 2:48 pm : link
These are simply players that fell in the draft compared to where they were supposed to be picked, so now they're "steals"

Maybe, just maybe, they fell because they suck?
umm

I’m with you on TJ, i wanted him badly. Fast and big with hands. I think he’s going to be fantastic pairing with Belli in 2TE sets

Any relation to Don?
Not just a "steal", but grand larceny

The Bears got the best QB in the draft, but that wasn't the steal (unless you consider giving up last year's 1st rd pick for DJ Moore and the '24 1st rounder).

But turning around a few picks later and landing Rome Odunze is ridiculously lucky. It wasn't a steal, it was Grand Larceny! I was shaking my head for the next five minutes when I saw that come across the TV.

Teams better watch out for the Bears this season.

I had the same reaction.
Next to Bowers, I wanted Allen ....

This is just people guessing.
Of course you're right, Stark ....  
Manny in CA : 4/30/2024 3:48 pm : link

But that's the fun of it, make outrageous projections then gloat if were right (especially over what the experts said) or eat a slice of humble pie.

I can tell you they didn't see Theo the sane way you did. Hopefully you are right.
Here are mine...

Pratt in the 7th... Some thought he was a 3rd rounder and this was a steal
Wingo and Milton in the 6th... A pass rushing DT in the 6th that was a captain and leader of a very good def. Milton again people thought maybe he would be a 3rd, but for sure a 4th.
Mo Kamara, Trotter, Abrams-Draine, and Sedrick Van Pran-Granger in the 5th... Kamara had 13 sacks and is an impress athlete and plays with power. At worst a sit pass rusher. Trotter was thought of a 3rd rounder and not sure why he fell, Abrams-Draine was amazing in the SEC, SVPG was also expected to go in the 3rd.
Troy Franklin in the 4th... To be a steal here you had to be expected to go in at least the 2nd and I feel like Franklin is the only guy that for sure was a 2nd.


Every good deal in the 3rd was maybe a second to late second. Same with players into the 2nd like Cooper DeJean who may have been the only real steal of this round. Round one the only player I could say is possibly a steal is Brian Thomas Jr who was regarded as the 4th best WR and went 23. Super talented.

Haha. True for the poster.

Cousin who lives in Lowell, MA was there for that Ramirez goof. He was also there when the Farrelly Brothers filmed the final scene at Fenway of 'Fever Pitch'. I think both happened in '04 too.

Yup, spot on! No one knows how a player will perform in the NFL, you is to say where a player was suppose to be drafted, that's pure arrogance!

Danny Dimes was the steal of the 2019 draft!

Powers-Johnson going at 44 I think is a steal. I think he'll be an immediate impact starter.

Yeah, I thought the Raiders did really well in the draft. I look forward to seeing how AP does. AOC is a good fit for Nagy's offense and they are setting him up well to continue on his upward trajectory.

And yet, you continue to make ridiculous platitudes to a QB who has shown he’s not good.

Do you enjoy being a pathetic troll? Serious question.
