Jonah Williams is playing like a premier LT

2020 is just amazing so far - Burrow, Higgins, Wilson, ADG, Adeniji

Then this year - Chase, Carman, McPherson, Sample just to start. And Ossai, Trey Hill, D'Ante Smith and Evans on deck not to mention Shelvin.

Yea, 2020 looks incredible not just for the number of starters but the number of actual stars. We got the leader of our offense and the leader of our defense in the same draft. Higgins almost had 1000 yards in his rookie year and may be even better this year. Then ADG, Bailey, Kareem and Adeniji seem like good to high quality back ups. Not a single pick was wasted in that draft.

And 2021 may be just as good, with Chase, Carman, Sample, McPherson, Evans all making an impact early in the season, with Smith, Ossai and Hill looking good in the pre-season. Shelvin hasn't done much but with a body that big, he has a good chance to stick for a while.

Depending on how some players continue to progress we may have mostly turned around our team on the past 3-4 drafts. Obviously the FA have helped 

Bates, Hubbard, Price (who we traded for a good player on Hill) Tate, Williams, Sample, Pratt, Burrow, Higgins, Wilson, ADG, Kareem, Chase, Carman, Ossai (looks like could be a stud), Sample, McPherson, Evans (has shown flashed and seems like he will be RB #1-2 of the future)

That's 17 contributing players from the last 4 drafts with some being the best players/leaders of your team. I'm not sure what other teams are pulling in but that seems really good to me. 

That's how you rebuild a team. I'm not sold on ZT as a play caller or head coach yet but he has impressed me in picking talent. Obviously picking in the top 5 helps but even in later rounds he has picked up some good contributing players which is all you can ask for. 

Oh no doubt. I am not saying 2019 was a bad draft, just it was the worst of three really good drafts.
