That's comprehensive, and sounds right to me.
I certainly don't agree about everyone on the list. Obviously, a player chosen in the 1st round or even high in the 1st round has to achieve at a VERY high level in order to be a "steal" at that point. Donald would qualify, but I'm not sure if any others would, except maybe Quinn.
My responses.
Keenum - No
Gurley - No, not considering he was a #10 overall.
Benny Cunningham - Yes
Barnes - No
Wichmann - Not yet
Hayes - Yes
Donald - YES
Easley - Yes
Quinn - Yes, if his back holds up.
Ogletree - No, not for a 1st round pick
Barron - Yes, 1st rounder for Bucs, but a steal in trade for the Rams.
TruJo - Yes
Gaines - Totally Yes
Troy Hill - Too early to say
Hekker - YES!, as in possible HOF'er from a UDFA!
Zuerlein - No, not when compared to draft round most kickers are taken
McQuaide - Very Reliable, but no. Same comment as Z. Even good LS'ers are often from the undrafted pile.
