Hey all,
Pretty much the title. I picked those years because it gets murkier to grade the most recent classes until they hit year 3. thanks for your input!

Cowboys have been pretty good:
2019: Pollard, Donovan Wilson
2020: CD, Diggs, Biadasz
2021: Parsons, Osa
Three All-Pros. Pollard’s dynamic. Wilson, Biadasz and Osa have been solid. Osa is doing great this year.
Bengals
I feel like you gotta have a franchise QB in there cause they’re gonna outweigh anything realistic. Jags imo got the most beyond Lawrence just by not fucking up the Josh Allen pick in a bit of a landmine first round, + Jawaan Taylor, Etienne, Tyson Campbell, Andre Cisco, Davon Hamilton, Minshew, and not for them but Quincy Williams looks great for the Jets now.
Feels like the 9ers have had some great drafts in that time
Bengals. Franchise QB and WR.
Every non top 5 team in the league would trade their drafts for that.
Our 2019 class had Josh Allen. Then several good players that are now on other teams. Quincy Williams. Minshew Jawan Taylor.
Our 2020 class was one of the worst drafts a team has made.
And our 2021 draft was utterly fantastic. Lawrence ETN Tyson Campbell Walker little Andre Cisco And also a backup TE
not us
Peep those raiders draft classes 😎
Even with the Trey Lance pick the 49ers have some insane hits in this timeframe
Nick Bosa
Deebo Samuel
Dre Greenlaw
Javon Kinlaw
Brandon Aiyuk
Jauan Jennings
Talanoa Hufanga
Elijah Mitchell
Kinlaw is bad. Jennings and Mitchell played above their draft spot but neither are major stand outs. Mitchell had a shot but the dude is literally never healthy
Honestly I loved our 2020 and 2021 draft classes (like, Burrow and Chase alone will do that). Been a while since the 2019 though and I’d need to look back on who we grabbed.
Dallas? Off the top of my head they got Pollard 2019, CD and Diggs 2020 and Micah 2021.
If you did 2021 onwards, Eagles would be great, but 2019 and 2020 were stinkers haha
At least we got Jalen Hurts and that was the pick I didn’t care for at the time
I’m excited for when we have these discussions about 2021-23 with Brad Holmes
2019 is so bad.
R1P8 TJ Hockenson - Traded to the Vikings
R2 Jahlani Tavai - on the Patroits
R3 Will Harris - Still with us
R4 Austin Bryant - On the 49ers practice squad
R5 Amani Oruwariye - on the Jags practice squad
R6 Travis Fulgham - pretty much out of the league
R6 Ty Johnson - on the Bills
R7 Issac Nuata - out of the league
R7 PJ Johnson - out of the league
We don’t have the best because our drafting dropped off drastically in 2021, but our 2019 and 2020 draft classes performed so well in that first Brady year, there’s no chance we win the Super Bowl without them.
That’s got to rank very highly.
Absolutely. Many packer fans are convinced that drafting had zero impact on our contention window. Y’all are a very convenient and convincing counterpoint to that asinine take.
For notable players, the Cowboys in 2019 got Tony Pollard, Connor McGovern, and Donovan Wilson. 2020 we got Ceedee lamb, Trevon Diggs, Tyler Biadasz, and Neville Gallimore. And 2021 we got Micah Parsons, and Osa Odighizuwa. So in 3 drafts we got a good amount of starters/contributors 3 franchise players.
Undrafted free agents also had some hits in 2020. Terrence Steele (starting RT), Rico Dowdle (current backup RB).
