But looking at the past drafts, i honestly lean towards him being the best drafter we have had. Sure, some years included Coughlin and there was a few bad picks but in my opinion the overall of picks has been way better than what we had in previous years. Look at each section of picks and honestly ask yourself which seems like the better group. It actually surprised me looking at them all together like this. I just grouped a few more known names from each year that was drafted. 

2003 Leftwich, Mathis, Manuwai
2004 Williams, Smith,G Jones, Scobee
2005 M. Jones, Barnes, Pearman
2006 M. Lewis, MJD
2007 R. Nelson, J. Durant, Sims-Walker
2008 Harvey, Groves


2009 Monroe, Britton, Knighton, Cox, Thomas
2010 Alualu
2011 Gabbert, Rackley, Shorts
2012 Blackmon, Branch, Anger


2013 Joeckel, Cyprien, Gratz
2014  Bortles, Lee, A Robinson, Linder, Colvin, T Smith
2015 Fowler, Yeldon, Cann


2016 Ramsey, Jack, Ngakoue
2017 Fournette, C Robinson, Westbrook
2018 Bryan, Chark, Harrison
2019 J Allen, j Taylor, Oliver, Minshew



Two of these groups included Caldwell.

Not sure why you grouped them that way. I'd put all of Caldwell's together, and give Gene Smith credit for 2008 since he had equal say that year (or maybe just make that line separate.

Coughlin has the best record in the 1st round, but was pretty poor in rounds 2-7. Harris and Caldwell both did well in later rounds, but Harris' record was worse in round 1.

Gene Smith was abysmal.
