After the NFL Draft takes place, pundits will usually analyze the picks to see which teams made the best selections.
The folks at Pro Football Focus just released their top five choices for the biggest steals from the draft’s first round.
The top steals were Washington receiver Rome Odunze to the Chicago Bears, Georgia tight end Brock Bowers to the Las Vegas Raiders, UCLA defensive end Laiatu Latu to the Indianapolis Colts, Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell to the Philadelphia Eagles, and Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold to the Detroit Lions.

Odunze and Bowers were two obvious steals.
The fact that Odunze now gets to play with Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen, and D.J. Moore in Chicago is a scary proposition for the rest of the league.
Bowers gets to go play with Davante Adams in Vegas after sliding to the Raiders at pick No. 13.
Latu and Mitchell were two very underrated defensive prospects coming into the NFL Draft.
Latu was a unanimous All-American at UCLA after recording a whopping 13 sacks, which is why the Colts stole him at No. 15 overall.
Mitchell, being from Toledo, probably wasn’t thought very highly of by casual fans.
But, the All-American has real speed and real coverage skills that will translate in Philadelphia.
Then, Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold sliding to the Lions at pick No. 24 made the draft selection too easy for GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell.
He will be an exciting defender on the boundary for years to come in the Motor City.
