You judge the draft on the value at each pick. If the team isn't getting good value at there picks then it's not a good draft. Yes it may work out but your taking on more risk than you had to. We don't have to wait a few years to grade this draft. It's bad maybe they get lucky but that's exactly what it will be "luck". The offseason the Bengals put together is not good.
Aside from BMore, no they absolutely do NOT.
Patriots won all of those super bowls: did they ever draft like the consensus was? Absolutely not.
Teams stick to their boards, period.
