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.

Brad's only had 3 drafts we can really evaluate (2015-17), plus 2014 which reeks of Burke. There's only a handful of guys drafted since 2018 that can be 'graded'.
3 years (19 picks: 6, 16, five 53-66, the rest 96+:
Tkachuk
Fox
Mangiapane
Andersson
Dubé*
Valimaki*
Kylington**
Ruzicka**
Phillips***
* = how much the jury is out...obviously the first 4 are still young, too.
Feaster 2011-2013 (19 picks (not incl. 42OA): 6, 13, 14*, 22, 28, 45, 57, 67, 75):
Gaudreau
Monahan
Kulak
Janko
Baertschi
Brossoit
Granlund (335 gp)
Sutter (2007 and 2008 -12 picks: 24, 25, 48, 70, 78, 108+)
Backlund
Brodie
Bouma
2006, 2009 are strikeouts (14 picks: 23, 26, 74+). So is 2005 (8 picks, no 2nd, two 3rds, two 5ths).
To cherry pick his next best year, you can choose:
Phaneuf, or
Prust/Pardy/Boyd/Cracknell, or
Ferland
For his whole tenure he had: 9, 23, 24, 25, 26, 39, 48, eight more 64-78, 42 more picks 87+, including two years of 9rd drafts). Fair to say his top 2 highest picks were lower, but his 3rd-7th highest were a lot higher than Brad's.
BT = 2 presumptive 1000 gamers and 4 presumptive top half of roster players and TBD
Feaster = 2 presumptive 1000 gamers and a few bottom half roster players
Sutter = 3 1000 gamers, Ferland, and a few bottom half of roster players
