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!

We’re the only team with a best and worst draft in a 3 year span, that’s something
Seattle
Bengals and it’s not even close.
Bengals. We got two great LBS, two no 1 WRs a top 3 kicker and a generational QB. Ignore the o-linemen we drafted.
Homer here: 49ers.
2019 : Bosa(All Pro/DPOY 2022), Deebo( All Pro 2021), Greenlaw ( One of the better LBs in the league), Mitch Wishnowsky( Probowl punter)
2020: Brandon Aiyuk.( Starting X WR, 1k yards last yr, on pace for 1300 this year), Jauan Jennings (WR3)
2021: Talanoa Hufanga ( All pro 2022).
Though my unbiased take is the Bengals…easily. Tee Higgins, Joe Burrow ad Jamarr Chase in 3 consecutive drafts is one of the best stretches I have seen
Not us
Cowboys have been pretty good:
2019: Pollard, Donovan Wilson
2020: CD, Diggs, Biadasz
2021: Parsons, Osa
Three All-Pros. Pollard’s dynamic. Wilson, Biadasz and Osa have been solid. Osa is doing great this year.
Not the packers
Our gm is infallible. What are you talking about? Infallible!
I think it might be an all time worst 3 year run, or at least certainly up there lol
Rashan Gary, Darnell Savage, Elgton Jenkins in '19. Jordan Love, AJ Dillon, Jon Runyan Jr in '20. 2021… Uh… TJ Slaton? Rookie Stokes?
For the sickos that are curious: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/draft.htm
Quinnen Williams, Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall, Sauce Gardner, Mekhi Bekton… not so bad for the Jets
we had a lot of really great picks in that span but also a lot of really terrible picks
Dexter Lawrence, Darius Slayton and Andrew Thomas are all we’ve got.
I’m excited for when we have these discussions about 2021-23 with Brad Holmes
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.
Cowboys got Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs, Ceedee Lamb, Tony Pollard, Tyler Biadasz, Osa Odighizuwa, Donovan Wilson, and Connor McGovern out of this 3 year draft span.
Let’s see what the Eagles looks like:
1st: Smith, Reagor, Dillard. Not great. Smith is a stud, Reagor and Dillard are busts and both off the team.
2nd: Dickerson, Hurts, Sanders, JJAW. Great. Franchise QB that’s an MVP candidate, a pro bowl lineman that’s still starting, a pro bowl running back that had some good years here, and arguably the worst nfl player in history.
3rd: Milton Williams is a legitimate post of this team so that’s a hit for the 3rd out of two picks.
4th: two guys are still on the team, Zach McPherson and Jack Driscoll. McPherson is hurt and he’s an important depth piece and Driscoll is a depth lineman that’s gotten chances to play.
5th: Kenny Gainwell is still contributing (more than most fans would want) but good for a 5th rounder. The others are out of the league.
6th: Tarron Jackson, Tuipulotu, Shaun Bradley, and Quez Watkins, are all on the team but a limited contributors. One other guy is still in the league in the chiefs.
7th: Patrick Johnson is still on the birds and Toohill is on the Commanders. Not bad when both 7th rounders make it.
So all in all that’s pretty good. Two big misses in the first round which is bad, but Smith is a great pick and they move made up for it with massive value in the 2nd.
Feels like the 9ers have had some great drafts in that time
