2019 has to be up there.

Jonah Williams - had been solid at times, but never a stud, and has disappointed/been injured for long periods other times. Now moved to right side and expected to depart after rookie contract ends.
Drew Sample - Perennial backup TE, hasn't lived up to many people's expectations of a 2nd round TE, which is to be a solid-or-better starter by his 5th season.
Pratt - Started out slow but he's turned into a good pick.
Finley - terrible. At least we got that Steelers game though lol
Wren - terrible.
Jordan - terrible.
Trayveon Williams - Someone who I actually liked and still like, but he's not really gotten much opportunity. Nothing more than a perennial backup with some good YPC in limited opportunities.
Deshaun Davis - terrible.
Rodney Anderson - could never recover from his college injuries.
Jordan Brown - terrible.

So out of this draft?
1 good starter (Pratt)
1 up and down starter (Jonah)
2 perennial backups (Sample, Trayveon)
6 bad

None of those guys contributed well during their rookie seasons.
