Well right after this years board draft I thought I would take a look back at the past couple drafts. I had Chargers with the following picks:
1 (11) - Lane Johnson
He ended up going 4th overall in this draft. Thus far I think he has not lived up to his lofty draft status. I would say that this was a bad pick thus far. I was in the same ballpark as the Chargers front office as they ended up selecting DJ Fluker. Other guys I should have considered were Sheldon Richardson and Kyle Long.
2 (45) - Alex Okafor
I greatly over drafted this player as he lasted tell the forth round. He was a solid contributor to the Cardinal defense last year as he was on the field for 699 defensive snaps, 59 ST snaps and registered 8 sacks and 30 tackles. I also came very close to drafting Larry Warford who was my pet cat of the draft. I think this was a decent pick. chargers ended up selecting Teo.
3 (76) - Blidi Wreh Wilson
He was taken at pick 70 by the Titans. Last season he ended up with 57 tackles 10 pass def and 1 INT. He started 11 games before being placed on IR. I'll say I hit on this pick. San Diego ended up striking gold with Kennan Allen.
4 (107) - Lev'eon Bell
Here is where I made the draft. Bell was selected in the second round 48th pick and has been one of the best backs in the league.

Overall I give this draft a B. I was able to get 2 solid contributers and 1 star, but missing in the first round.

I had the Dolphins last year. Looking back on it, I think I did pretty well:

1 (19) - OG Zack Martin, taken 1 (16) in real life, result: All-Pro as a rookie.
2 (50) - OG/OT Brandon Thomas, taken 3 (100) in real life, result: IR rookie season, likely to take over after Iupati leaves.
3 (81) - RB Bishop Sankey, taken 2 (54) in real life, result: 600 rushing yards as a rookie, likely starter next year.
4 (112) - TE Crockett Gilmore, taken 3 (99) in real life, result: 120 receiving yards as backup TE.
4 (123) - LB Preston Brown - taken 3 (73) in real life, result: 110 tackles and 1 INT as rookie for stacked Bills' defense.
