2015 - Jake Fisher (no longer with team), Tyler Kroft (no longer with team), Paul Dawson (no longer with team)
2016 - Boyd (developed into good WR2 in Year 3), Vigil (meh, could be good as 3rd LB but not better than that)
2017 - Joe Mixon (underutilized but very good), Jordan Willis (no longer with team)
2018 - Bates (good last year but declined this year), Sam Hubbard (steady solid DE like MJ was for years), Malik Jefferson (no longer with team)
2019 - Drew Sample (lolwut), Germaine Pratt (seems to be improving but hasn't been consistently good yet)

Out of those 12, you got 3-4 "good" ones in Boyd, Mixon, Hubbard, and maybe Bates (we'll see if he returns to 2018 form).
Then you have some meh-level contributors in Vigil and Kroft but Kroft left as soon as he hit FA. Pratt so far is a meh-level but he's trending upward.
Dawson, Fisher, Willis, Jefferson never really contributed anything of worth and Sample hasn't really done anything yet either.

Yep, it's like a 25% hit rate. Again for a team that relies so heavily on the draft you just can't miss that much in the top rounds of the draft.

We drastically need a draft for the record books. The more I think about it the more I'm leaning Burrow. Our offense has been bad for several seasons now. We don't have to play him right from the jump.
