hard to judge- particularly as we need to adjust for both draft position and number of draft picks (both of which are things controlled also by the GM- although often in different directions)
2015 looks like an ok draft, but a great draft adjusted for draft position (Andersson, Mangiapane, +/- Kylington with no pick before 53)
2016 seems like an amazing draft which benefited from draft position (Fox, Tkachuk, Dube is a pretty darn good haul in a 30 team league)
2017 seems 'ok' . they got an NHLer of some sort and a prospect who still has legs
2018 is a draft position/number of picks problem
and probably fair to call 19/20 too early to judge (but depending on how charitable you are there are names to like within the pile, but for now they are just that)
