Personally, I think it was a good draft because we did hit on at least 3 future starters in Price, Bates and Hubbard. Maybe a 4th starter if Jefferson can improve. Any draft that you can get 2 starters out of is pretty good imo.

I don't think you can say they "hit" on Price just yet. He did start, yes, but he wasn't good this past year.
I still don't think Mark Walton was a good draft pick. Why spend a 4th rounder on a 3rd string RB? Those can be picked up late in the draft or cheap in FA.
It feels like Malik Jefferson got the John Ross treatment as a rookie. Didn't see the field as a rookie and there wasn't a lot of explanation as to why.
I'm holding out hope that the new regime will find a way to get him some snaps in 2019.
