One of the most important ways NFL teams build and replenish themselves is through the annual college draft. With the 2013 draft history, see the teams that did the worst, and read why they are such losers.
So, who did your team steal in the NFL draft?
An underrated linebacker, an undersized cornerback, a running back with a history of knee problems?
Every year after the draft, the debate begins about who got the best steals, the best value with the picks they had to work with.
Here are my top five 2013 draft steals. If you got a problem with it, let me know.

It's always intriguing to see a rookie you sense will be an NFL star someday.
Which one of the 2013 NFL rookies will someday be a Joe Montana?
It's impossible to say with this group, though we know there will be at least one related to a superstar. That would be Nate Montana, son of the legendary 49ers quarterback Joe Montana.
Nate, not coincidentally, is one of the rookies who has been a minicamp standout. Here is my list of 10 other rookie standouts thus far.

New Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan is getting some very bad advice.
His new General Manager David Caldwell keeps going public on Tim Tebow, bad-mouthing the free agent quarterback and reiterating that the Jags - no how, no way - are interested in signing Tebow.
Caldwell really should zip it publicly. Privately, he needs to say to Khan: "K-Man, go to the bank now and come back with a big ol' bag of money. We got to sign this kid now, today!"
Caldwell is so far off base on this one, a monkey could pick him off. Tebow would stop Jacksonville's sad slide into obscurity, both in the win-loss column and in attendance.
It's really a ridiculous situation in Jacksonville. Read my column on Tebow here and why the Jaguars should sign him immediately. Nobody with any sense could possibly disagree, so let me hear all your supporting arguments.

The Browns, Cowboys, Patriots, Dolphins and Jets: These teams failed the 2013 NFL draft.
How? They're losers either because they picked losers or they did something else stupid, like trading away too many picks, drafting positions where they were already solid or letting the owner get involved in personnel matters.
You've seen the winners. Now here are the losers.
