For sure.

They really have only hit on the following guys:
- Joe Burrow (1st rd)
- Tee Higgins (2nd)
- Germaine Pratt (3rd)
- Logan Wilson (3rd)
- Evan McPherson (5th)

Dax Hill (1st), CTB (2nd), and Turner (2nd) look to be on track to be good picks too, but none of them have been a starter for even a full season season yet, so I'm a bit hesitant to fully say "hit" quite yet at this moment.
I might argue Jonah Williams had also been somewhat of a hit, but not necessarily lived up to his draft position. 

Notice I did not put Hubbard and Boyd in the list of hits because they were drafted before Taylor came in. But if you want to expand beyond Taylor, those guys would be too.

One thing to notice of all the guys mentioned? How many of the hits have been Day 3 picks on offense/defense that have blossomed into solid-or-better starters?
