3 starters- Volson, Hill, Taylor-Britt

1-will be on PS and contributed last season-Gunter
2023
All picks made the team
over 4 years 31 picks and 26 are still on the team an 83.8% rate. 2 will likely be on our PS and 1 other on another team's.
Overall that is a pretty darn good success rate in the NFL. Shoot, it wasn't that long ago that entire draft classes were out of the league in 4 years
Position depth isn't a good metric when evaluating how good a player is. We still don't know if 75% of these guys drafted over the past few years are any good or not. The core and best players on this team were layup picks (Burrow, Chase) and free agents (Hilton, Reader, Awuzie, Orlando, Karras, Cappa).
