<![CDATA[Biggest Steal of the 1st Round (Not Counting JF)]]>So the question I want answered by this boards members, who got the biggest steal in the draft outside of Cleveland with Johnny. We are going to be talking about Johnny a lot but lets identify who in this draft got a lot of value for their pick.

I'm tempted to say clinton-dix.

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 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.

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

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.

There were steals. Maybe less so with the top picks because they didn't fall too far from where they were projected, but when you get Mack at 5 with his kind of talent and very few people thought he would be available there, I would consider that a steal. Just like how both Dennard and Clinton-Dix were considered top 16 picks and they both fell past 20. Or even Bridgewater, who many considered to go late 1st early 2nd, was once considered to be the best player in the draft and was picked by a team who traded ahead of another to steal him from them.

A lot of people didn't think he would fall out of the top 15. It just sucks he ended up in the AFCN.
