Like CF Dolfan said, I would have liked to see Litton from Marshall brought in as an undrafted FA. He showed enough in college to at least take a look at him.
Fitzpatrick: Should be an excellent addition, I just don't see that the need at Safety was worth their #11 overall pick when there are so many other glaring holes.
Gesicki: Meh, I like his height and his pass catching skills, but he is like Colby Fleener. Zero blocking skills. Once Hurst was taken, there were no other "complete package" TEs out there.
Baker: As I have already whined about, they really screwed the pooch by letting Edmunds pass them by. Baker has decent speed, decent coverage skills, and questionable run stopping skills. He also underperformed some in college last year after looking great the year before. That always makes me wonder if a guy has already reached his ceiling. We shall see.
Smythe: Don't really know much about him, but considering the amazing running success that Notre Dame had last year, he must be a good blocker. And Notre Dame's QB was awful so who knows about his receiving ability.
Ballage: I like him a lot, especially as a receiving RB. May become an effective runner with time as well.
I don't know a damn thing about the last 3 guys they picked.
A couple years in I think the 2018 Draft would have to be considered very successful. Minkah was a good pick and we acquired good draft value when he wanted to leave. Gesicki and Smythe have both worked out at TE. Jerome Baker at LB is starting. Kalen Ballange was doing well until being injured and then waived, he is still playing in the NFL. 6th round pick Cornell Armstrong and 7th round pick Quentin Poling ended up busts. 7th round pick Jason Sanders was a hit.
