Pace has done well. Especially with his 2nd round picks but Floyd, Trubisky and Smith have all been 1st round need picks who've shown up ready to play and have also shown growth as players.
I'm also excited about last years draft class.
The entire group made the team. Nichols and Wims both look like late round score and only Fitts lacked making any contributions so far. He has some tools but he's raw and could get better with some good coaching.

I can see that. We'd have to go back to some of the Angelo drafts and then the late 70s / early 80s where they were building the Super Bowl team. Just looking at the Angelo years, I don't see a draft, let alone three in a row, with the depth that Pace has done.
The 1981 through 1983 period sets a high bar, but that's well over 30 years ago.
