It was a great show, the only one I disagree with is Bo Jackson. He only played 4 years and only half years at that. He made some great commercials and high light reels and help drive Marcus Allen out of town. There have been far more significant steals then him.

I agree; John Unitas should have been on the list instead.

I don't think Unitas qualifies as a draft day steal. He was drafted by the Steelers, along with another QB, Ted Marchibroda. Steelers cut Johnny U and his hightops, without really even looking at him. Colts signed him a few months later, while he was playing in semi pro ball for like $5 a game.

In that regard, he was a really big steal.

Rod Smith was an UDFA, no? Certainly deserves a mention.

Not drafted and is, thus, not a draft steal.

He was definitely one of the top UDFA steals though.

Might as well complete the list now that I've seen it again and can add the three guys I forgot:

10.) Roger Staubach . . . . QB
9.) Larry Wilson . . . . . . . S
8.) Ray Guy . . . . . . . . . . P
7.) Shannon Sharpe . . . . .TE
6.) Bo Jackson . . . . . . . . .RB
5.) Dan Marino . . . . . . . . .QB
4.) Deacon Jones . . . . . . .DE
3.) Terrell Davis . . . . . . . .RB
2.) Joe Montana . . . . . . . .QB
1.) Tom Brady . . . . . . . . . .QB

You're right; I had forgotten that Unitas was drafted by the Steelers in '55.

P.S.: After watching Shannon Sharpe's fake phone call on the sidelines at Foxborough, I hate him all over again.
