We cut the majority or our picks from 18. Only ones that made the team were Davenport who we traded up for, Tre’Quan who isn’t very good, and Clapp who is awful. In 17 we had a lot of early picks so we didn’t really need to make a lot of trades but we did trade back in for Kamara in the 3rd. We didn’t have a pick in the 4th, 5th, or 7th. We cut our 6th round selection from that year. In 15, we whiffed on every pick except for Peat, PJ Williams, and Tyeler Davidson. This includes Stephon Anthony, Kikaha, Grayson, Tull, Swaan, and Marcus Murphy. Could argue that Marcus Murphy wasn’t a complete bust.

Yeah 2017 we had 5 or 6 picks in the top 100 or something like that. And that was because we traded players/future picks to get those picks.
2018 we lost every pick post round 3 minus Clapp (who I imagine is on his last legs here barring some magic jump).
2015. Man that was the rough year that caused the shakeup to get Ireland.
So those are all bad examples for one reason or another (2015 was a bad draft, 2017 had a bunch of high picks (as well as using a future pick to trade into the 3rd) which is super rare, and 2018 we lost most of those guys.
Edit:
If ANYTHING 2017 is an example of why you should trade current players/future picks to get guys you want.

Stephon Anthony, Kikaha, Grayson, Tull
Swann would have turned out pretty good if not for the concussion issues

Peat was drafted to play Tackle...… Dividson is rarely in games.... Williams, well Ok then.
