I'm not going to include 2014 draft since it's difficult to determine Treliving's input on it.
We certainly haven't been the team drafting guys like Bazral, Connor, Chabot, Dobson, Carlo, etc since he got here.

You forgot Fox, but nice rub in on Dobson, even if he doesn't exactly fit the pattern.
I suspect that the record will show more top 2 round misses (like Poirier, Klimchuk, Kanzig, Seiloff, Sven, Wotherspoon, Erixon, Neimisz, Whal, Irving, Pelech, Chucko) in the Sutter/Feaster drafts than Treliving.
Treliving really hasn't missed on a first or second rounder yet (if 2014 doesn't count). Which, I suppose, makes not having those picks in 2018 sting a bit more.
