Kirkpatrick has been meh. He's been good a times but there have been quite a few times he has really given up big plays. He's arguably not even the best (or second-best) CB on the team.
Zeitler was good but everyone thought the pick should have been DeCastro. DeCastro has been a multi-All Pro. If it was choosing true BPA, the pick should have been DeCastro over Zeitler, and that isn't even with 20/20 hindsight. DeCastro was the better prospect at the time.
I would still consider Zeitler an extremely good draft choice considering their position. I still consider that one of the best drafts we have ever had. In hindsight trading back missing DeCastro for a Brandon Thompson probably wasn't the best move =) we did get Marvin jones out of the deal at the time and that seemed to work out really well.
Zeitler, Kirkpatrick, Sanu, Jones, Iloka, Burfic UDFA
