Biggest Draft Steals of the Past Decade

Saints on the list
TE: Jimmy Graham, Saints, 2010
3rd round, 95th overall, 5th TE. In hindsight, grabbing a project tight end in the third round who becomes a red-zone master, then a guy who re-defines the position, is larceny enough. Taking him when he had played only one season of college football and was a full-time basketball player, takes it to another level.
G: Jahri Evans, Saints, 2006
4th round, 108th overall, 10th T. Evans was moved inside by the Saints, stayed there for 10 years, started for the beloved Super Bowl XLIV champs, helped protect Drew Brees as he put up his ridiculous numbers, and was hailed as a hero when they let him go this offseason. Good run for a product of Division II Bloomsburg (Pa.).
Mentioned for Colston and Ninkovich

not Saint related or past decade, but Tom Brady is by far the biggest steal ever.

By the way, does the sporting news not know what a decade is?
