Day 3 Steals Published at 4/26/2017

Here are some players i think could surprise but probably won't go till day 3.
Kenny Golladay WR N Illinois 6-4/218...big and fast wth all the tools...outstanding 4.47 forty at the combine...gets up high and takes the ball away from the defender...makes circus catches...great body control...dangerous on reverses...good blocker...bigger and just as fast as the Steelers Sammie Coates and has superior ball skills to him
Vincent Taylor DT Oklahoma 6-3/304...powerful/strong bull rush...can push the pocket...plays hard...very active...strong hands...quick feet...gets off blocks and finds the football vs the run...pass rush ability...showed his athleticism vs Texas when he blocked an extra point scooped up the ball and made a beautiful lateral for the score...could also play some defensive end
Adam Bisnowaty OT Pitt 6-6/304...doesn't test well and didn't look good in one on ones at the Senior Bowl practices but the more you watch him in games the more you like him...plays a smart/physical style...44 starts at left tackle but i think his best bet is at right tackle or guard...versatile lineman who gives you options and a tough winning attitude
Robert Davis WR Georgia St 6-3/219...great speed/length/jumping ability...NBA like 41"vertical...big catch radius...excellent hands...makes tough catches...can take the top off a defense...outstanding yards after the catch
Hunter Dimick DE Utah 6-3/268...playmaker with a great motor...excellent pass rusher...Utah record 28.5 career sacks...quick off the edge with a nice spin move...feet are always moving...relentless...stocky but quick and tough to block...impressive 36 x 225 bench...team leader with a great work ethic...reminds me of the Pats defensive end Rob Ninkovich
Brian Allen CB Utah 6-3/215...team leader...smart...mature...great size/length...outstanding speed/change of direction...converted receiver who is still learning the position but has all the tools you are looking for in a corner...developmental prospect with a high ceiling
Ben Braden OG/OT Michigan 6-6/329...great size/length...good speed for his size...pulls and gets to the 2nd level well...blocks in space...power in the run game...finishes his blocks...intense...great effort...long arms and maybe able to play some left tackle but right tackle and guard will be his best positions...versatility is a big plus
Eric Saubert TE Drake 6-5/253...nice size with big/excellent hands...good body control and agility...high points the ball...very fluid catching the ball and moving upfield...good acceleration...breaks tackles and battles for extra yards...needs work blocking but shows effort
Tarik Cohen RB NC A&T 5-6/179...Darren Sproles type...like a pinball flying around...great burst and balance...all the way speed...cuts on a dime and explodes to daylight...awesome open field runner...change of direction is amazing...small but tough like Sproles...linebackers can't stay with him in the passing game...great change of pace back
Jahad Thomas RB Temple 5-10/190...one of the most elusive backs in the draft...ankle breaking cuts...great open field runner with excellent vision...not a burner but he is game fast and very quick in the first 10 yards...dangerous receiver...returns kicks...change of pace back
Austin Carr WR Northwestern 6-0/202...smart...great hands...fearless and runs the tough routes inside...quick feet...good body control...knows how to get open and knows where the sticks are...led Big 10 in receiving...reminds me of another late pick Julian Edelman
Dylan Donahue OLB West Georgia 6-3/248...strong edge rusher...good power...physical...tenacious...tough vs the run...can set the edge...good change of direction...dominated at lower level...only negatives i see are short arms and hasn't dropped into coverage much
Jimmie Gilbert OLB Colorado 6-4/223...long and tough to block...quick off the edge...pass rush skills...active and around the ball...sheds and runs well...he is built like a rail but if he can add 20-25 pounds you may have something at outside linebacker
Dylan Cole LB Missouri St 6-0/239...quick...active...very strong...quick reactor and gets off blocks easily...tremendous Pro Day...ran a 4.49 forty at 239 pounds with a 39" vertical and 32 reps on the bench...will be tough to cut and will excel on special teams
Brendan Langley CB Lamar 6-0/201...developmental prospect but he has excellent size/speed/strength...better in man than zone...plays the deep ball well...hands didn't look good at the Senior Bowl practices but he did have 6 picks and broke up 7 passes during the season...also returned 2 punts for touchdowns...needs some coaching but has the tools
