Blackhawk4 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Chapman easily. If he had never torn his ACL, I easily could have seen him gone by round three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chad72 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 David DeCastro for the Steelers, I hate to say it, at No.24.The other candidate could be Omar Bolden that the Denver Broncos got. If he had not torn his ACL in his last year, he could have been a round 2 pick. Much like Gronkowski tore his ACL in his last college year, due to which he went to the top of the 2nd where he was picked up by the Pats.For us, similarly, Chapman, just like Omar Bolden above.

Stokes Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I think Dennard to the Pats in the 7th is the best value pick and, ironically, Ballard to the Colts as the last pick in the 5th.Also, Bobby Massie OT to the Cardinals in the 4th and Billy Winn DT to the Browns in the 6th.

Scott21 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Who do you think will be the steal from the 2012 draft class? I would like to think it would be T.Y. HiltonDefinitely Josh Chapman. He was widely regarded as the #2 best nose tackle in the draft, and quite honestly, he's a far better prospect than Dontari Poe. Poe played for Memphis on one of the worst teams in all of college football, with below average competition, while Chapman played with a torn ACL on a national title-winning team with the best competition in college football and still excelled at a high level. Now that he's supposedly fully recovered, he could prove to be a dominant nose tackle right from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCH Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I would say the Ravens got the steal of the draft in Tommy Streeter in the 6th, and the Patriots got another one in the 7th. I would say Janoris Jenkins in round 2, but IMO true steals are impact players found in day 3.The Colts steal of the draft has to be Chapman because no way he falls to us in the 5th round if he's not injured.

coltsindy18088 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 How about Coby falling out of the first and into our laps. after the combine he was mid to late first and we grab him at 34? yes please! Not to mention he played with Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Americolt Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Dennard. Once a solid 2nd round talent that fell to the 7th...For us, Chapman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWF Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The Steelers getting Decastro is an absolute steal to me. I know it was a 1st round pick but it filled a huge need for them and he's probably one of the most talented guys in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21isSuperman Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 DeCastro and Riley falling into the 20s were both steals. If you want a late round guy....hm...Tank Carder, Asa Jackson, Alfonso Dennard, and Streeter are all good talents with lots of potential. If Burfict plays to his potential and stays out of trouble, he could be the steal of the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStallion Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Rueben Randle to the Giants at the bottom of the 2nd round, right before the Colts picked again. If Randle was still there at the top of the 3rd round, I wonder if Grigson and Pagano would have taken him instead of Dwayne Allen.I was also surprised the Colts passed on both Trumaine Johnson and Josh Robinson to get a second TE. Both CBs were picked immediately after the Colts selected Dwayne Allen. He better be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF Hilton is an impact return man he is worth his weight in gold.I just can't get over the fact that this draft is not SEXY at all... but come This/Next season these players will ALL be shining.

If he turns out to be a great starting player he'll be playing up to his potential as evaluated by the team that drafted him. If he doesn't, he'll be looked upon as a failed gamble. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'd only really consider a player a steal if he fell into the later rounds and then defied the odds and turned out to be a Pro Bowler. The ultimate "steal" is when you can pick up a late round pick or even someone undrafted and they turn out to be a Hall of Fame worthy player. I think one of my favorites of all time would be Kurt Warner who was by ANY measure a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betheafan41 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 hate to say it because i was hoping the colts would find a way to trade for another second rounder cause i thought this guy would fit in well on the colts defense, but courtney upshaw. i figured he would be gone in the first but he fell all the way down to baltimore in the second round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unitaswestand Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Andrew Luck was an absolute steal at #1.Totally agree. When you consider the guy who went after him cost three #1 and one #2, Luck was a steal for just a single #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck2Fleener Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 DeCastro could've and should've been a top 15 pick even as a guard. The Steelers got him at #24 and he filled their biggest need. In my opinion, he was the biggest steel of the first round. Reuben Randle and Bobby Massie were two other steels that I was hoping the colts would get. (Randle was taken one pick before us too).

crestmount Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I'd have to say the job the Vikings did on the Browns--swapped 3 for 4 and gained a heap of later picks and still got the guy they wanted.
