A 5th rounder and 6th rounder from the 2020 NFL draft are no longer on the team. Not sure why that is noteworthy.
You know exactly why it is noteworthy when one has an agenda.

I subscribe to the Rule of 3. If you hit 3 picks in a draft class, you did a good job. High quality starters or important role players.
2018: Jaire & MVS are high quality starters. OB, JK, and Bradley are lesser role players. EQ appears to be done. I'd give it a 2.
2019: Gary, Savage, Jenkins. Maybe Keke joins the group this year. Still getting ST value from Summers and they haven't given up on Sterny yet, but it doesn't look good for him. I'm giving this a 3.5 right now with 3 solid hits at the top. That is what you want.
2020: Entire class is still incomplete, but Love, Dillon, Deguara, and Runyan all seem positioned for roles by 2022, if not this year. Currently, a 0.
2021: Pretty rave reviews from the entire Top 5. We can revisit this in another year, but this class seems destined to hit earlier than the 2020 class.
2018 seems pretty case closed, but everything else there is still plenty of time for more of these guys to hit.

I call 2018 a success because it got us a top player in the league at a premium position.
Jaire Alexander is worth two starters.

Gute also got the extra 1st from the Saints that became Savage - that has to be included in the 2018 ledger.

As a low round pick, you need the development curve to keep going up.
I wasn't surprised Kamal and Ka'dar didn't make the roster with us adding talent to the positions this off-season. A bit surprised we didn't keep em for a week more, but no matter.
