The poll only allows 8 entries, so honorable mentions go to Matt Forte - Round 5, Joe Flacco - Round 13, DeShaun Jackson - Round 16, Tim Hightower - Round 17, Derek Ward - Round 18, Justin Gage - Round 21, & Kyle Orton - Round 27 (I list him here instead of the poll since he recently came back down to earth).
Pick the 3 best steals in the poll, or if you think any or all of your 3 choices are not listed in the poll, post which of your top 3 are not in the poll and vote for only the 1 or 2 that are there, if they are.

Matt Forte is a steal!!
Warner would definately get my vote in a redraft league, but not a dynasty league.

from a dynasty standpoint . . . Slaton and Royal I voted for . . . Forte at 5 is not so much of a steal, not at the point we held the draft . . . but Hightower at 17 is huge. Hightower gets my third vote.

Chris Johnson in round 9, only because solid RB's in my mind trump solid WR's. I certainly agree that Forte is equally impresive, however, he was a 5th round pick so CJ gets the nod. Honorable mention in the WR catagory is Royal as the last pick of round 19! (Beats out D. Jackson in the 16th........

I chose in this order C Johnson, T Thigpen, and K Warner.
Johnson is obvious in the 9th. He slid only because everyone doubted his physicality.
Thigpen was an easy choice as a 29th rounder, and I still can't believe what he is doing. Buried as the 3rd QB on the team w/ the worst passing offense, he literally came out of nowhere to become a starter for FF teams everywhere. Over the last 5 games, he has outperformed other young QB prospects like Ryan, Flacco, and other than this week 12 game, Edwards. He has also made a no name WR like M Bradley a solid WR2 when the matchups are good. He was practically irrelevant, drafted in round 29, dropped, reclaimed to a roster, and now apparently has a bright future.
Even though Warner is old for dynasty, he is the best FF QB and he dropped to the 19th. Most redraft leagues have 16 roster spots. My Keeper League has 18 roster spots. Warner was drafted after those league's rosters were filled.

The Warner statement is true . . . I picked he and Sammy Morris up off of waivers after week 1 in my big money league.

I targeted him as my 2nd QB, but like a big dummy, I got sucked into a small run on QB2s in the 12th round. I had Schaub ranked 1 or 2 spots higher than Warner, so I chose him at a point where those QBs were higher priority than any other player at any other position. At least I was able to make a package deal early in the season and replace Schaub w/ Rivers.

I had to throw a vote at DeAngelo Williams.
He was my 3rd vote in lieu of Kurt Warner. Kurt Warner in a dynasty league should equal value considering we drafted our teams in May.
CJ and Eddie Royal are no brainers to me.
Honourable mention: Kevin Walter in round 26. I drafted him in a few of my other leagues. I have no idea why I let him slip to mestifo. I could have grabbed him instead of Moose Muhammad in round 17.
Having said that, I think I made a prediction about Moose this year and he's about to out-perform my prediction of 700+ yards and 5-7 TD's ( I'm pulling that out from memory )
Had Michael Pittman not been injured, he could also have been on the bubble.
