The topic says it all. Who will be the steal of the draft in 2006, and most importantly, why? I'll edit this first post as we go...in order of most nominations plus supporting posters.
The summary of all those nominated below, with nominating and supporting posters in parentheses:
8. Ben Troupe, TE, Tennessee (Mister CIA, Bloom): "Speaking of TEs and guys named Ben ... both of them." I LOVE BEN TROUPE NEXT YEAR!!! However all bets are off until we know who the QB will be.
19. Eric Moulds, WR, ??? (Marc Levin): "Will be the 2006 steal of the draft - new life ala Keenan McCardell or Keyshawn Johnson for one last hurrah year of top-20 performance with a below 40 price tag." Here is the problem. Will he be a steal? Or will someone reach too early? For example...if he lands with the Patriots, and Brady throws to him non stop in pre-season to get him the reps and timing...and his stock soars. Then what happens when the reg. season begins and Brady goes back to throwing to 12 other targets? If he lands with any team that has a poor defense and a strong QB he will be a stud.
