Gresh: Was with us for 5 seasons, made 2 PBs, did **** all once he left us.
AJ: Made 7 PBs and was easily a top 5-10 WR his entire tenure here (last 2 years, notwithstanding).
Zeitler: Was with us for 5 seasons and was a top 5 RG for each one.
Dre: Was with us for 8 seasons and gave us solid numbers and play for 4 of them, 3 lost to injury.
Eifert/Dennard: Gave us many solid years and Eifert was the best receiving TE in the league, in '15.
WJax: Still playing at a high level
I mean, criticize all you want in the 2015, 2017 and 2018 drafts (especially the 1st round) but this was not a terrible decade for drafting. Some good, some bad, some mediocre.
Ogbuehi, Ross and Price are essentially busts, and how many of these guys signed second contracts with the team? AJ and Kirkpatrick and Eifert? You want to hold on to your first-round picks if they pan out, don't you?
That's essentially what I was getting out. The last decade of draft picks was largely made up of busts or guys who left after their rookie deals were up. Or maybe that's to be expected? I dunno (and I don't mean that facetiously).
Everything in this post is my fault.
