Mediocre is not very good drafting. Above average is above or better than half of the league’s draft classes. Big difference between the two especially when mediocre is used to describe the drafts as the highest measure
Since 2018, 3 good picks out of 6 1st rounders (two are still TBD), 3 good picks out of 4 2nd rounders, and 4 good picks out of 5 3rd rounders isn’t mediocre drafting. Thats a really solid draft success rate of 10 out of 15 early round picks (67%) since ‘18 draft. 11 out of 15 (73%) when considering Turner’s shown good pass rush ability.
1st round pick rate (50%) looks mediocre. But the 1st round isn’t the entire draft. It’s more to drafting than the 1st rd. It’s only been 1-2 years since Foskey and Penning were drafted. Describing the overall drafting as mediocre implies that most of the draft classes’ picks haven’t been good when that isn’t the case
