This is from 2017:
It ranks us 26th in drafting over the previous 5 years.

What's your metric? That is based only on guys while they are with their drafted team. I saw a statistics that we have the most players in the NFL that we drafted. A lot of our guys stick around on other teams as back ups and role players. Which is funny because they tend to be the late round guys that you'd think a team with a small staff would miss on a lot more.
I mean heck look at how well Margus Hunt played this year for the Colts.
