Saying players is a good pick unless outstanding in his first 2-3 years is pre mature. So lets atleast not call 2026 or 2025 a success because no one is a standout at this point. What would you say is the success rate is from 2020 to 2024?
The players that I mentioned as good picks in the last 3 drafts WERE understanding. If you read my post, you would see that I specifically didn't include guys like Stribling/Pearsall/Mykel etc because it's premature to call it either way... but even those guys have flashed.
Gracen Halton is a standout
Jaden Dugger is a standout
Romello Height is a standout
Kaelon Black is a standout
All 4 of these players are heavy contributors to the team's success and clearly a big part of the future.
De'Zhaun Stribling was a standout in pre-season and doing things no rookie WR had done in the last 25 years up to that point before his injury.
2022 and 2023 drafts were objectively horrifically bad. Terrible. Even with hitting a grand slam on Purdy in 2022 doesn't save that draft.
You know what the irony in that is though? A HUGE reason why those drafts were so terrible is because the team pissed away their 1st round picks for both years making a r****ded, ill advised "All in" trade for Trey Lance to be the future.
That "all-in trade" was for an unproven qb from FBSII school bro, not a proven NFL vet. You are comparing apples and oranges. Lol.
