There have been lots of first and second round picks that have flopped.
Just looking at OTs taken since we selected Dre Smith in '09 there have been Gabe Carimi (1st round), Derek Sherrod (1st), Ben Ijalana (2nd), Vlad Ducassa (2nd), Charles Brown (2nd), Jason Smith (1st), Eben Britton (2nd). Eugene Monroe has been a starter every year, but he is also considered a bust for a first round pick. The Jaguars traded him to the Ravens for a fourth round pick.
