you need to compare it to something...like the record of other GMs.
Why would we want to make a comparison? Why have a standard?
All that can do is just highlight the possibility that facts disagree with our opinion in this matter. Can't have that...
Let's use the "still in the league" standard and pick 3 good drafting teams. Do 5 years, but no closer to the present than 2015.
I say Pittsburgh and Green Bay.
Who's the third. Baltimore?
....
Okay I will start. Green Bay 2012-15.

I see 15 out of 36 hits. 41.7%. Good.
Rams, same years. I count Hager as a "hit" (quality back-up, regular special teams stalwart.) I don;t count Robinson in spite of the starts. I do count Austin, though many would argue he was a disappointment for his draft spot (which gets into grading drafts for quality, not just counting basic hits).
So I get 40.5% hits. Still within my "good" paramaters. And that's counting Bailey and Mason, even though one was shot and one suffered mental illness. (Discount them and it's 42.8%). [

For comparison's sake, look at 2006-2008. I count Greco as a hit even though they released him. Those years, it was 7.7%. Which is bottom of the barrel awful. [

How about Devaney? 2009-2011. 23%. Below average. [
