I hope the kid makes it. He is a fellow that has the tools but has had some bad breaks. It is all up to him. As for the "steals of the draft" statement, I don't think that any player taken in the first two rounds can be seen as steals especially when you have that this was a kipper of a draft.
That being said, Brady Murray is having a much better year than Parise is and he is on his line. So far, I would say that Brady is the "steal" of the draft as he was taken in the fifth but it is to soon to say anything like that.
