Biggest Steal of the 1st Round (Not Counting JF)

[The Gipper]

Based on their pre-draft rank, I do think Dennard may have been the biggest "bargain" in the first round.

The biggest steal of the draft was Cleveland swiping a first from Buffalo and still getting the best CB in the draft.

I bet most Bills fans feel like Robert Shaw's character in The Sting right now

This.

But aside from that, I would have to say Dennard. IMO he was a top 16 talent, very polished and very versatile, and Cinci got a steal of a pick.

Dennard. @24

if, and only if, this kid lives up to the hype Minnesota made a wise move. I guess that could be said for any quarterback taken in the first round but...

There's always the chance he was overrated or under rated.

JF was not a steal btw.

Ryan Shazier to Pittsburgh

I went Clinton-Dix... saw an awful lot of boards where he went in the low to mid-teens.

Someone told me the Bills/Browns trade had a lot to do with the Bills pending sale. Basically they want to go all-out next year so new owner keeps regime, and if new owner doesn't they won't care that they lost their first round pick because they'll be gone.

I don't think there was a big steal, but time will tell. I'm tempted to say clinton-dix.
