Who were the late-round steals in NFL draft? - ESPN
KEVIN NEGANDHI: Who was your late-round steal? ... MEL KIPER JR: I’ll go with a fifth-round running back. I love running backs in round five. I’ll go Kenny Gainwell, running back out of Memphis, who, in 2019, all Kenny Gainwell did was score touchdowns. Catching the football out of the backfield, game-breaking runner, outstanding football player. They get him in round five, he should’ve been taken in round three. That’s a heck of a pick for the Philadelphia Eagles.
