A player that was supposed to be a 1st rounder shouldnt be classified as a steal imo.
It should be classified as a frick up by all 30 teams for not even throwing a 7th round selection at him

Yea very smart move by a bad organization to get him. Antonio Brown also comes to mind as a steal as a 6th rounder.

The Cowboys are a bad organization? They have had some bad luck, but that team is among the most talented in football today.
If Romo and Dez were healthy this year-they'd probably have a bye and certainly would be NFC East champs.

Well by definition, it was a steal considering his salary. He's a fricking monster

Brady in the 6th
Bo Jackson was the 1st overall pick and then was drafted in the 7th round the next season when he re-entered the draft the next season

I like all those as steals but where I was going with is undrafted free agent steals.

I could have swore Antonio Brown was drafted in the 4th round.

This dude is either a Saints or Redskins fan to say that! Like either one of those are great "organizations" either. The Saints got lucky with Brees and the Redskins have sucked for over 2 decades.

As far as undrafted free agents it's unprecedented how much of a steal Collins was.
Posted on 12/28/15 at 6:15 am to SmokePurpleLiveGold2
Figuratively and literally the biggest.

Biggest steal is when Lael got a free rim job.

Their is no such thing as luck, only correct and incorrect decisions.

Yeah, I am convinced something was told to the teams to not draft him.

The decision not to draft Lael Collins was made 224 times in a row by 32 people acting independently. Then those same 32 people suddenly reversed course and decided he was worth offering an undrafted free agent contract. What are the odds of that happening coincidentally? Pretty much zero.
The NFL teams had to be acting in concert for Collins to go undrafted, but still wanted enough by all 32 teams to receive free agent offers. Dallas didn't get a steal so much as they were the beneficiary of collusion by the NFL. If I were Collins I would be suing the NFL for colluding to deny me fair market value for my services. I would be seeking treble damages using RICO as justification.

The Saints could have had him basically for free (7th round) and they blew it.

Time will tell, but I think Arian Foster as an UFA wins for now.

I don't know how he did it but Jerry gamed the system somehow to get La'el.

Doesn't that happen with every undrafted free agent?
