I certainly don't. There are plenty of players I thought would do well who didn't and vice-versa.
That said, and maybe this is just confirmation bias, it does seem like sometimes the board/wisdom of the crowds recognizes a good pick. I remember people being particularly enthusiastic about Jessie Bates and Sam Hubbard when they were picked. Same with Carlos Dunlap.
OTOH, the counter-example would be Geno Atkins, whom I remember some on the board thinking he was no good/should be cut early on. The coaches had some positive comments about him and board members still were skeptical.
