What player do you feel will be the biggest steal in the draft?

I have a question, the draft is always important to football teams. I am trying to find out which players are must have players and would be considered steals? I would like to know what you guys think, since we need a secondary help, I think Matt Elam would be a steal. Check out this list on NFLDraftZone.com

Check out this Elite Eleven list. I would love to see us hit on every pick, but that might be a pipe dream.

This list has Matt Elam, this kid seems like a perfect fit for us. He could come in right away and take over for Ed Reed or Pollard. Could you imagine Christian Thompson and Elam?

Tavon Austin would be the biggest steal in this draft. Based on what he's physically capable of and what he accomplished at West Virginia, he is a top 5 talent in this draft.

I don't think any first rounders will go down as steals.

For me, the biggest potential "steals" (which I mean as "guys who perform above their draft spot) are Shamarko Thomas (S, Syracuse), Corey Fuller (WR, Virginia Tech), Dion Sims (TE, Michigan St., been waiting for this dude to break out for years, but it's never really happened, but in the right system he could be very productive for a mid round pick) Cameron Marshall (RB, Ariz St., comes from a similar family as Art Jones, lots of athletes, dad is a professional trainer, brother plays RB at Oregon, workout fanatic, will do anything to get better, perfect type of guy who gets better at the NFL level rather than get "found out" as a fraud like so many), Michael Buchanon, DE/OLB Illinois. Was looking like a stud till an injury caused him to lose a bunch of weight, reminds me of Kruger before we messed with him and set him back.

Don't know if he would be considered a steal, given his off field/discipline problems at LSU, but I'd say using a 4th Round comp pick on Tyrann Mathieu.

Who knows, he might be taken by then.

Tavon Austin. No matter where the ravens select him :-)

I think Chance Womack will be a steal for someone drafting after 10

**BigPlayReceiver** · 03-15-2013, 07:22 AM

Austin easily.

Teo if he falls to the 2nd or 3rd round. People take character concerns too far sometimes.

Damontre Moore if he slips to 32.

Two (virtual) rookies on a Super Bowl Championship team (?) No, I really can't. Although I believe Ozzie will sign a veteran Safety, your question may not be out of the realm of possibility... Bc

You should watch the sports science piece on EJ Manuel. Pretty interesting.

The steal of this draft is going to be Sio Moore. There are only two issues with his game and both are coachable, He needs to improve his upper body strength and combine that with better leverage at the point of attack when taking on blockers.

He has high quality ILB speed, both North/South and East/West. He has Kiko Alonso type blitz ability, with better technique. He has Alec Ogletree type athleticism. He has Kevin Minter type instincts and Manti T'eo type closing speed. He can play inside in a 3-4, outside in a 4-3 and can man up with TEs in a nickel. He can blitz from the inside and off the edge.

By word of the Excellector, somebody is going to draft Sio Moore in the mid-late rounds and get a day 1 starter, and that somebody had better be the Ravens. He's the one player that satisfies the board's desire for more athleticism at ILB, without being a liability on early downs.
