Hey all,

Pretty much the title. I picked those years because it gets murkier to grade the most recent classes until they hit year 3. thanks for your input!

    I feel like you gotta have a franchise QB in there cause they’re gonna outweigh anything realistic. Jags imo got the most beyond Lawrence just by not fucking up the Josh Allen pick in a bit of a landmine first round, + Jawaan Taylor, Etienne, Tyson Campbell, Andre Cisco, Davon Hamilton, Minshew, and not for them but Quincy Williams looks great for the Jets now.

    For notable players, the Cowboys in 2019 got Tony Pollard, Connor McGovern, and Donovan Wilson. 2020 we got Ceedee lamb, Trevon Diggs, Tyler Biadasz, and Neville Gallimore. And 2021 we got Micah Parsons, and Osa Odighizuwa. So in 3 drafts we got a good amount of starters/contributors 3 franchise players.

      Undrafted free agents also had some hits in 2020. Terrence Steele (starting RT), Rico Dowdle (current backup RB).

    Dolphins have been pretty solid:

    Christian Wilkins, Andrew Van Ginkel, Tua Tagovailoa, Robert Hunt, Brandon Jones, Jaylen Waddle, Jalen Philips, Javon Holland,

    Honorable mentions: Hunter long (used in Ramsey trade) Austin Jackson (playing well this year)

    Honestly I loved our 2020 and 2021 draft classes (like, Burrow and Chase alone will do that). Been a while since the 2019 though and I’d need to look back on who we grabbed.

    9 of our current starters came during those 3 years along with 5 depth pieces, however we also drafted Trey so it’s definitely not us.

    Nick Bosa

    Deebo Samuel

    Dre Greenlaw

    Javon Kinlaw

    Brandon Aiyuk

    Jauan Jennings

    Talanoa Hufanga

      Kinlaw is bad. Jennings and Mitchell played above their draft spot but neither are major stand outs. Mitchell had a shot but the dude is literally never healthy

    We don’t have the best because our drafting dropped off drastically in 2021, but our 2019 and 2020 draft classes performed so well in that first Brady year, there’s no chance we win the Super Bowl without them.

    That’s got to rank very highly.

      Absolutely. Many packer fans are convinced that drafting had zero impact on our contention window. Y’all are a very convenient and convincing counterpoint to that asinine take.

      2019 is so bad.

      R1P8 TJ Hockenson - Traded to the Vikings

      R2 Jahlani Tavai - on the Patroits

      R3 Will Harris - Still with us

      R4 Austin Bryant - On the 49ers practice squad

      R5 Amani Oruwariye - on the Jags practice squad

      R6 Travis Fulgham - pretty much out of the league

      R6 Ty Johnson - on the Bills

      R7 Issac Nuata - out of the league

      R7 PJ Johnson - out of the league

    Ours have a few stinkers so I don’t think it’s the best, but it’s still been pretty solid

    2019: Mecole Hardman, Juan Thornhill, Khalen Saunders, Rashad Fenton, Darwin Thompson, Nick Allegretti

    2020: CEH, Willie Gay, Lucas Niang, L’Jarius Sneed, Mike Danna, BoPete Keyes

    2021: Nick Bolton, Creed Humphrey, Joshua Kaindoh, Noah Gray, Cornell Powell, Trey Smith

    Some of these guys have been downright great, but we have some fairly poor ones that keep us from being the best

      Yeah Chiefs aren’t the best, but it’s really impressive how well they do in rounds 3+. They haven’t hit much on S-tier picks as often outside of Mahomes, but it’s crazy how much production we consistently get from day 3.

        Most teams don’t hit on multiple blue chippers per draft, though.

        We’ve got a couple elite guys in Humphrey and Bolton. Sneed is near-elite and McDuffie is looking to be the same (if not a blue chipper himself). Willie Gay, Trey Smith and Mike Danna are plus starters.

        We’ve done really well. If we keep drafting like this, there’s a good chance we’re in the mix for a Super Bowl every year for the foreseeable future.

          For sure. But as an example, the Cowboys in these draft classes got Parsons, Diggs, CeeDee. They also got Tyler Smith, Biadisz, Pollard, and some others. That level of top end, AP1 type talent at some of the most important positions is tough to beat.
