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

Colston should be a big deal. HOF player for the team taken in such a round..

While not quite the same career as the others mentioned I think Strief is considered a great steal. 7th round and has had a pretty good career and been a starting tackle for most of it

Marques Colston

"HOF player"
In what alternate universe. He's definitely not an NFL HOFer, maybe Saints HOF

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

How about Collins to the Cowboys as a free agent last year? Top 20 pick

How about we see what he does first.

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