'12 they hit on 5 picks; Dre, Z, Sanu, Mo Jones, Iloka highlight this draft.
'13 they hit on roughly 4-5 picks; Eifert, Gio, and to a lesser extent, Shawn Williams, Rex.
'14 they hit on roughly 4 picks; Dennard, Hill, Blodine, AJ, and to a lesser extent Clarke.
'15 they totally whiffed outside backup players Kroft, Uzomah, and Shaw.
'16 They hit on roughly 2 players; WJIII & Boyd, and to a lesser extent Vigil, Core, and Fej
'17 seems to hit on 2-3 players, but of course to early to really tell; Mixon, Lawson, Willis all seem to have good promise.
So the '15 and '16 draft derailed alot of the momentum we had going post AD & AJ era.
I consider a hit a quality starter in the NFL. Not some guy who occasionally plays or starts and is bad.
From 2012 - Only Kirkpatrick and Iloka remain. Kirkpatrick grades out as Poor and was terrible for all but his contract year. Iloka is average to above average. Zeitler was good and left. Same with Jones and Sanu.
13 - Bernard has been mediocre. Williams is maybe average. Eifert was good when healthy which is rarely.
14 - Dennard is a hit based on what? He was a special teamer most of his career now he's the 4th CB. Clarke was waived without contributing. Hill had 1 good year and is on his way out of town. Bodine is probably the worst starting Center in football. To call him a heat?
15 - Kroft is average who just started playing, Uzomah is a backup, Shaw is a backup.
16 - I like Jackson. Is Boyd a hit? The coaches seem to not want to play him.
17 - Lawson is a hit. How can a guy averaging 2.8 ypc in Mixon be considered a hit?
