How many of them have had any real impact on this team ? 1 or 2 ?
Depending on your definition of "real impact," these are the following since 2003 who have been even remotely relevant:
2004 - Landon Johnson (Pick 33 in Rd 3)
2007 - Chinedum Ndukwe (Pick 43 in Rd 7)
2008 - Andre Caldwell (Pick 34 in Rd 3)
2009 - Bernard Scott (Pick 36 in Rd 6)
2013 - TJ Johnson (Pick 45 in Rd 7)
2018 - Darius Phillips (Pick 33 in Rd 5)
SO ultimately, there have been some players who had some playing time, but none became solid long-term starter quality.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: 3-5 so far. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
