2019 picks are still to see how they work out, but there are several promising players.

2018- Jessie Bates, Sam Hubbard, Andrew Brown, Auden Tate.

2017- Mixon, Carl Lawson, Ryan Glasgow and everyone's favorite Jake Elliott (he was drafted, so for this conversation he counts)

2016- William Jackson III, Tyler Boyd, Andrew Billings, Clayton Fedj.

2015- admittedly, outside of Uzomah, this draft was a stinker.

So, like I said, the draft is a crapshoot, but don't act like we never draft any good players

Yeah, but for a team that relies almost exclusively on the draft the results over the past 5 seasons have been underwhelming. The team has consistently failed with its 1st round picks, and the 2nd/3rd rounds haven’t been much better. The refusal to re-sign quality players that left via FA, combined with subpar drafts, give us the last couple years of suckitude...
