Looking at our '11-20 draft classes(because '20 is the last draft year that rookie contracts have expired from), 5 of our 15 4th round picks lasted 4 years in the roster(ADG, Carl Lawson, Andrew Billings, Russell Bodine, and Clint Boling). And you're apparently giving D grades to 6th rounders like Hill and Evans who have made the roster for 3 years?
Day 3 picks are cheap depth fills for the back half of the roster. Occasionally, yeah, you luck into a starter, but expecting starters and key backups out of these picks is ridiculous. That's why I rail on everyone jumping on the Golden Binns bandwagon or folks who think you can just find a quality RB on Day 3.
Hill may be worthy of a C-, but that's a stretch really. Evans has at least scored a TD in a meaningful game, but the rest of his contributions have been pretty vanilla. The names Sample, Hill, and Evans aren't striking any fear in opposing teams and players.
I gave 6 incompletes for a reason.
