Madieu Williams was a starter here that we lost in FA
Ethan Kilmer had a pick 6 in his first start and we lost to a knee injury
Marvin White was not a hit, but did play(and start) for several seasons
Ndukwe was a very solid player here
Corey Lynch has gone on to have a very solid career in San Diego
Robert Sands was an idiot
George Iloka just got a huge payday
Shawn Williams has shown enough to become the starter and allow them to let Reggie Walk (Hello ANOTHER third round compensatory pick!)
Derron Smith- Too early to tell


Actually, for later round selections, I think their success rate has been pretty good.  

Williams looked good his rookie year and the first 4 games in 2005. After his shoulder injury, he just wasn't as physical as he used to be.

Kilmer had a pick 6. That's it. He got a pick 6 on a day where we gave up 510 passing yards, which is still a team record.

Marvin White was the primary starter for one season, and then we released him. He also earned the nickname Marvin "Whiff" White.

Corey Lynch spent a total of one season in San Diego.

Ndukwe had a lot of us hyped up. 2008 was kind of a rough year for him. He lost his starting job in 2009 until Roy Williams got injured.

Sands was LOL.

Iloka is the only one we've really hit on. It's too early for Williams since guys like Ndukwe showed up for 1 season, but I'm willing to say he was a positive hit. It's too early for Smith, but I'm hoping we've hit on him.
