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!

Ours have a few stinkers so I don’t think it’s the best, but it’s still been pretty solid

2019: Mecole Hardman, Juan Thornhill, Khalen Saunders, Rashad Fenton, Darwin Thompson, Nick Allegretti

2020: CEH, Willie Gay, Lucas Niang, L’Jarius Sneed, Mike Danna, BoPete Keyes

2021: Nick Bolton, Creed Humphrey, Joshua Kaindoh, Noah Gray, Cornell Powell, Trey Smith

Some of these guys have been downright great, but we have some fairly poor ones that keep us from being the best

Yeah Chiefs aren't the best, but it's really impressive how well they do in rounds 3+. They haven't hit much on S-tier picks as often outside of Mahomes, but it's crazy how much production we consistently get from day 3.

Most teams don’t hit on multiple blue chippers per draft, though.

We’ve got a couple elite guys in Humphrey and Bolton. Sneed is near-elite and McDuffie is looking to be the same (if not a blue chipper himself). Willie Gay, Trey Smith and Mike Danna are plus starters.

We’ve done really well. If we keep drafting like this, there’s a good chance we’re in the mix for a Super Bowl every year for the foreseeable future.

For sure. But as an example, the Cowboys in these draft classes got Parsons, Diggs, CeeDee. They also got Tyler Smith, Biadisz, Pollard, and some others. That level of top end, AP1 type talent at some of the most important positions is tough to beat.
