Let's see how it looks so far.
1. Perry - Some were puzzled at this pick as Perry still seems to project more as a 4-3 DE. He did show some flashes before being injured for the season. Remains to be seen whether he can be the pass rushing OLB we desperately need opposite Matthews. Too early to evaluate.
2a. Worthy - Relatively quiet year. Still a good value pick at a position of need. Showed some flashes of interior pass rush as a rookie and may improve on that going forward.
2b. Hayward - Top pick. Was already a solid pick based on the value point difference gained trading up, Hayward was a tremendous value here, and looks like a solid part of the secondary for years to come.
4a. Daniels - Good value pick who probably should have gone higher. Arguably outperformed Worthy as a rookie.
4b. McMillian - Looked very solid early on before eventually losing out on snaps to Jennings. Still has a chance to start at SS opposite Burnett going forward with a solid training camp next year.
5. Manning - Disappointment of the draft as I thought he was a great value here. Some limited contributions on special teams. With Bishop and Smith returning next year, he's going to have a great training camp just to make the team, particularly if there is any ILB drafted early. Without knowing this for certain, he seems like a guy who thought he was a little better than he is and able to get by on talent alone, and wasn't ready for the wakeup call of the kind of hard work it would take to be in the NFL.
6. Datko - Fell behind UDFA Barclay on the depth chart, spending most of the season on the practice squad. Still a work in progress and way too early to fairly evaluate.
7. Coleman - Will benefit from several years in the Packers QB school.
