Title is....
Stovall, Winston could be steals (croyle was another one)

" It's not uncommon for second-round draft picks to outperform their first-round counterparts as NFL rookies. For starters, second-round picks rarely hold out in training camp due to contract disputes.
Secondly, many second-round picks are first-round talents who wind up slipping on draft day due to character or medical concerns. Often times, these types of players enter the league with a chip on their shoulder and are out to prove the other 31 teams wrong for passing up on them.

ILB Kendrell Bell (Steelers) was a perfect example in 2001, as was Clinton Portis (Broncos) in 2002, Anquan Boldin (Cardinals) in 2003 and RB Julius Jones (Cowboys) in 2004. "

You know I could be wrong but I always thought there was 32 teams in the league. :goof:

While I agree that Stovall, Winston, and Croyle could be steals...I think that thesis kind of assumes that no second round pick should outperform a first round pick...and thats a bit flawed. We all know it breaks down to percentages. Then again nothing they say is really wrong I mean yeah there's dudes go in the 2nd because of attitude or injury or whatever the case and then they go in with a chip on their shoulder and play lights out. They probably should have mentioned Chambers though heh.

What? I didn't say anything about what you said. I commented on what you quoted. Is this really a big deal, it's a matter of opinion.

I used "him" as a generic a second round draft pick. You know, he was drafted in the second round meaning 32 first round teams passed on him.

:confused: On who??
 
"other 31 teams" passed on him doesn't imply the 32nd team didn't pass on him, so that write up doesn't imply there are only 31 teams in the league.
