Gene, thanks for the comments on Roosevelt Brown. I can't change the slide but if I am asked to do this assignment down the road, I would nominate Brown as the Giants all-time steal. Thanks for sharing that with me.

With regard to acknowledging Rosey Brown as the correct greatest draft steal for the Giants, you are welcome. You might want to check out some of the other choices as well, since you might find other selections from the distant past that were greater steals.

Thanks for correcting the greatest draft steal for the NY Giants from Harry Carson to Rosey Brown. It would have been a crime to overlook him!

Hey Dan,
You really whiffed on your list of greatest draft steals for each NFL team when you overlooked Roosevelt Brown for the New York Giants, possibly the greatest steal of all times! He was selected in the 27th round of the 1953 draft - the 312th player selected!! You should know that he went on to be, even at a mere 255 lbs., one of the greatest offensive linemen of all times!
Check it out - and please correct your list!
