Shout out to undrafted free agent kicker Jake Bates on the Lions. Guy has been arguably the best long distance kicker in the league this year, and no one had even heard of the guy that wasn’t keeping an eye on the USFL. Kicking was arguably our weak point, now they are deadly (assuming they don’t go for it on 4th lol)
I feel like more teams should start looking at the USFL to get kickers. Last year we had Aubrey, now Bates. Seems like there are a lot of good kickers that go unnoticed there
@ don’t be a smug douche bag. I’m a Lions fan, I said “our”. I forgot using that word is forbidden unless you’re collecting and paycheck from the organization. Dork.
He gets open but has drop problems like the rest of their receiving core and yes the QB play has been inconsistent mainly because AR is still being molded into a QB
@@loganwarren_Zach Frazier is a top 5 center in football rn and only has 1 sack allowed (last week) and only 9 pressures on the year. And his run blocking is amazing for a rookie
They have been phenomenal. Steelers always draft pretty solidly, but this looks like it could be a good class if Wilson comes around and then Troy comes back from injury
DJ Glaze is a starting level tackle the Raiders got in the 3rd round and he’s getting stronger and improving technique week over week. That’s a steal and a half considering starting Tackles are usually a first round premium.
@@FrankReynolds182 I am really surprised to see him playing as well as he has. I thought he was a day 3 pick out of Maryland but I’m really happy for his success so far
@@FootballAnalysis1 Same, most of Raider nation I talk to thought we reached but given tackles we’re going fast in the third we had to act fast. Hes been doing great though and hopefully will improve further after a full offseason and training camp.
For the Panthers, WR Jalen Coker (UFA) seems like their best pass catcher, might have a shot to develop as their true WR1 and TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (4th round) has arguably their second best as big play guy, could lock the vertical threat spot. unfortenly both missed multiple games since their bye due Injuries. Coker's hands have been extremly reliable and he's a very physical ball hawk, Id argue his presence could've changed a lot those last 3 games in the redzone
@@BetastuffXyzFORUM yes, but not WR in the panthers is has been better route runner than Coker. And Coker was the one who jumped & grabbed the passes through contact. They might release Thielen next year, but Coker is wild
@@joebidenshusband6593 Lagette is a 1st round pick therefore not a steal, but still he hasnt been playing better than Coker nor Sanders, he still a great rookie but I don't think he has the same ceiling as Coker whos a textboox technician. Let alone his hands, even if Lagette didn't had ad many drops, Coker catch only with his hands, never with his body, and thats just so attractive to see
If Jaden Hicks had more snaps he'd deserve to be on this list. A Chiefs 4th Round Safety who's played great whenever he'd on the field and even got an interception on one of his first defensive snaps vs the 49ers. With how much our Safetys have been struggling in coverage this season I'm excited to see Hicks take on a bigger role next season.
One I think is really underrated is Will Richard. 6th rounder out of Alabama. As I Vikings fan I know kickers are cursed, however when will was 100 percent healthy he was making kicks in the 55 to 59 yard range. And I feel confident we have are franchise kicker for years to come in, will the thrill. Also one that has gone way under the radar as he hasn’t played a ton is late 7th rounder Levi drake out of Texas. Who made the Vikings 53, and I think in the future will be a solid player in the Vikings DL. He’s also a great personality in the locker room and building from what I’ve heard and has that John randle type motor in him. Look forward to what he will do in the future for the vikes. Also RIP Khyree, us Vikings fans believe he would have been a stud in this Vikings defence .
I am also curious what Gabriel murphy brings as well. Was really bummed that Taki got hurt, as he was looking like a great pick up for the vikings as a true runstopper nose tackle. Taki should be due back though
@@adamgreenspan4988 The fact that he was taken 22nd certainly makes him a steal. Not to mention that Cooper DeJean was taken in the second round makes the Birds 2024 draft exceptional.
I think the Eagles got a couple steals. Quinyon Mitchell is playing great, he's probably the most CB on the team, including Darius Slay. Cooper DeJean is also looking like a great slot corner. Jalyx Hunt hasn't played a lot before Brandon Graham's injury, but he's looking good so far. Had a really good game against Carolina.
As great as both were, it's hard to call the DBs steals. Q fell a decent bit, and we traded some picks to snipe Coop. Jalyx, though... that guy could be if he keeps developing.
Hufanga will probably be brought back on a cheaper deal to start next to Mustapha. Brown is not starter material and the 49ers defense is much better with huf over Brown
I wouldnt call McConkey a great player and definitely not a draft steal considering he was picked 34th, hes good dont get me wrong but getting all the targets because the Chargers WR room is made up of Taco Bell employees doesnt make you great.
not a raiders fan, and definitely not an OSU fan, but i’m happy that tommy eichenberg is finally starting. wish my cowboys were able to get him but eich is a DOG.
Coupon Tom had inconsistent (to say it kindly) draft picks, especially in the later rounds. Joe Hortiz knocked it out of the park in his first year as the Chargers GM. I'm looking forward to the O-line and Defense he will build for Jim Harbaugh.
I am a diehard UW Husky, and I have to give serious props to the former Oregon Duck Bucky Irving. Hated watching the huskies play against him because he is an all time missed tackles demon. Not surprised he’s doing well in the NFL.
No the worst thing about the Patriots not picking ladd mcconkey wasn’t that we got jumped, it’s that we traded with the Chargers so they could pick him
I drafted Bucky in the last round of my fantasy draft. Single handedly carried me to the playoffs. And man i missed having a good run game he helped carry the Bucs too
As a Panthers fan, I wish they had just waited and ook Bucky Irving instead of stupidly drafting Jonathan Brooks, who's NFL career is probably already done.
Most of the class has yet to develop, but i think Qwesi did good for the Vikings this off season. Turner's performance against the Colts says it all. Hard for him to take the spotlight in a stacked wdge rusher room the Vikings have now, but he shows through really well there. Dude looks like a panther pouncing on QBs. Give him time, muscle, practice and knowledge? Probable Blue Chipper. There are a number of UFAs I'd like to have seen more, like Dwight McGlothern, Bo Richter and more, but the Vikings did pretty well and those talents will develop and show moving forward. Not to mention the Free Agency class? Unbelievable. Probably one of the best in history. Certainly franchise best. We currently now have THREE former TOP 10 pick QBs on the roster. Insane. Has anyone else ever done that? Then theres the Linebacker core thats just crazy and Aaron Jones that has brought offense to another level. Team is stacked, yet still understaffed in defense. It clearly needs even more help and talent to do what B Flo wants to accomplish. Give it time.
No Q or COOOOOP ??? The best rookie corners ??? Everyone had Q going at 14-19 we got him at 22! And coop was supposed to be a mid first rounder as well and we got him in the second round !!
Austin Booker has shown a lot of upside for the Bears, but he's not near being described as a steal yet. That's about it for Bears picks exceeding expectations as Caleb and Rome are performing as well as expected for rookies with incompetent coaches though they will be a dangerous duo in the future. The rest have been meh, though Taylor was a reach.
Still kills me that the pick the cowboys traded for Trey Lance was right before both Bucky Irving and Tyrone Tracy. Rico Dowdle has shown flashes finally and this year's RB class is really good so I think we'll be fine, but it definitely feels like a weird move given that trey hasn't seen the field at all
Who Do You Think Is The Biggest Draft Steal So Far? 🤔
how do you forget tyrice knight hes a game changer for seattle 5 rounder
how bad is the 49ers OL?
a 3rd round rookie RG is their best starter, considering Williams has been hurt
Bucky or coop DeJean
tyrice knight the 4th round LB from utep on the hawks is getting crazy production with ernest jones after baker and dodsen got cut mid season
Jalen Coker the UDFA for Carolina that they only got because Steve Smith said he loved the route running

I'm a lifelong packers fan....and I even find myself loving the lions success.
I thought the biggest steal of 2024 draft was gonna be Adonai Mitchell for the Colts but the QB play has been inconsistent
He gets open but has drop problems like the rest of their receiving core and yes the QB play has been inconsistent mainly because AR is still being molded into a QB
UA-cam please add a laugh reaction for comments like this
Maybe but Mitchell dropped some of the easiest catches all season.
@@WestCoastCheeseHeadYeah the colts have not had to develop a QB since Peyton Manning, they were blessed with Andrew Luck and ruined him as well
The QB play seems bad because the damn receivers and tight ends drop easy balls too damn much
Devaugn Vele in the 7th round. Top 10 in rookie receiving yards, and everyone above him was picked within the top 33 picks
Javon Bullard, Evan Williams, and Edgerrin Cooper have been pretty solid picks for the Packers
Zach Frazier and Payton Wilson are both absolute steals
Yeah I heard Payton has been playing insanely well for Pittsburgh
Eh, I think you're a bit biased but they're solid, especially Wilson
Cooper dejean biggest steal
@@loganwarren_Zach Frazier is a top 5 center in football rn and only has 1 sack allowed (last week) and only 9 pressures on the year. And his run blocking is amazing for a rookie

Congrats, tell him to keep grinding

Really cool to see Wills success from college transfer to the NFL, especially with Alabamas history behind kickers!

Didn't Reichard break the SEC scoring record set by Daniel Carlson?
I truly believe if Mikey Sanristill was a few inches taller he would’ve been a top pick. He’s just unreal for a rookie, he plays like a vet.
@@bhhdty2272 Sainristil was my favorite player on last year’s championship team. So so so fun
Honorable mention to Ray Davis.
Wildcat Legend
It is nice having the Giants mentioned in a slightly positive way for once.
tyrice night and aj barner been really good on the hawks
And Laumea on the O-line in the 6th. This might be one of the best Hawks drafts in a long while if it holds
Tyrone Tracy Jr sounds like a star NFl RB.
Braden Fiske has been a huge pickup in the second round for the rams
Calen and Kamari have really stepped up for the Texans excited to see how they grow and develop 🤘
Hell yes!! Another year of development and I genuinely think we could have one of the best secondaries in the NFL 🤘🤘
Edgerrin cooper from the packers is another great pick, he has elevated our LB room when he plays.
Imo and not trying to be biased tyrice knight is a steal for my hawks as he been doing great recently
Great mention
John Schneider might’ve cooked with this draft class ngl. Starting DT, franchise LB, and what seems to be our first starter-caliber RG in YEARS
@ I just want good to great G play man 😭 I hope he does become a full time starter for us
Jalen cocker should have def been on the list. He was an underrated free agent and has beeen looking get a good player.
Let’s go bolt up baby ⚡️⚡️
Shout-out to Mekhi Wingo for the Lions who is a dog for a 189th overall pick.
None of our picks even get to play except Terrion 😢 we don’t get to see them be pro bowlers until later
Mike Saninristil not mentioned is criminal.

Quinyon Mitchell
First rounder, top CB taken. Great draft pick, but first rounders are not what this video is about.

@@lee-daniels i don't think he's a steal. First CB taken
@@SuperMurray2009he glazed the chargers with their first 2 picks for 5 minutes. eagles stole the draft this year
@@danegriffin8287 That's if I go by his criteria
It’s definitely tyrice knight for Seattle
Ladd McConkey is going to be a top five receiver and a problem for a lot of defensive coordinators for years to come
The niners really got puni, mustapha, and green. Niners won the draft
And Evan Anderson as an UDFA who looks like a starting caliber DT
Even though Ladd McConkey was drafted round 2 dude has been an absolute baller that people were sleeping on early on in the year
I think the Eagles got a couple steals. Quinyon Mitchell is playing great, he's probably the most CB on the team, including Darius Slay. Cooper DeJean is also looking like a great slot corner. Jalyx Hunt hasn't played a lot before Brandon Graham's injury, but he's looking good so far. Had a really good game against Carolina.
Preacchhh
I wouldn't call the first corner taken off the board a steal, but letting cooper go to the eagles in the second was crazy.
As great as both were, it's hard to call the DBs steals. Q fell a decent bit, and we traded some picks to snipe Coop. Jalyx, though... that guy could be if he keeps developing.
@@archieprime fair points. I'm really hoping Jalyx becomes a good replacement for Graham like Carter has for Fletcher Cox.
Why are we calling the first DB taken a steal
Before starting, I'm hoping you give some love to Zach Frazier, Peyton Wilson or Mason McCormick
Panthers have an underrated draft class this year
Hufanga will probably be brought back on a cheaper deal to start next to Mustapha. Brown is not starter material and the 49ers defense is much better with huf over Brown
Nice Vele nod at the end, very big contributor for someone drafted in the 7th.
Tyrone came out of nowhere. NY did a good job this draft class.
I wouldnt call McConkey a great player and definitely not a draft steal considering he was picked 34th, hes good dont get me wrong but getting all the targets because the Chargers WR room is made up of Taco Bell employees doesnt make you great.
Quinton Mitchell should of been a top 10 pick eagles got away with it again. Cooper desean omggggg
*Dejean
Zach Frazier, Payton Wilson and Mason McCormick.
Really enjoyed this piece.
Devaughn Vele In the 7th was actually a legit steal
I mean like half the chargers class could be on here

What, no mention of Cooper DeJean, who not only was supposed to be a 1st round pick, but he's playing like one of the best slot corners in the league.
i think raiders are really building something. we had an elite draft this year. TE/ 2 starting OL / pretty solid Undrafted RB
Thanks for the Jonah Ellis and Devaughn Vele shoutout, both have come up so clutch in key moments in games

@@gigachad6203 let’s go
Evan Williams gotta be up there too. Before he got injured, he was playing like a top 10 safety in the league
Cooper DeJean is hands down the biggest steel
I can't believe he fell as far as he did.
Cooper DeJean???????
He wasn’t a steal, he was expected to be a late day 1 or early day 2,
No the worst thing about the Patriots not picking ladd mcconkey wasn’t that we got jumped, it’s that we traded with the Chargers so they could pick him
Niners OL Dominick Puni 3rd round....Playing pro bowler...
Giovanni Manu will go down as the biggest steal of this draft. He has not given up a sack all year. He has HOF potential.
I drafted Bucky in the last round of my fantasy draft. Single handedly carried me to the playoffs. And man i missed having a good run game he helped carry the Bucs too
A video on the top players in the league in your opinion would be really fun, maybe by position or regardless of position and top 20 overall
