Bortles in 2014 and Fournette chosen way too early in 2017 are the only bad offensive picks in the past 6 drafts.
 (unless you are all in on Cam Robinson being a bad pick at this stage)

Yeldon, Lee, and Cann were bad picks on my ledger too. Just counting first 3 rounders.

Yeldon and Cann were both from a weak draft. Hindsight is 20/20 and I'm sure you can find better players picked after them (David Johnson instead of Yeldon for sure), but for each "better player" picked in rounds 2 and 3 that year I could find at least five that were worse. Cann had a stellar rookie season as a guard, but has declined ever since. I'm sure the Gus culture and lack of OL coaching were a significant factor in his case.

Lee seemed to be good value at the time. He has had constant injuries issues and never turned into the WR he was expected to be. I'm not sure if the injuries were the reason he never looked all that good even when healthy (although he did lead the Jags in receptions in 2017), but it could be the explanation.

I do agree that drafting a RB high in this day and age (Yeldon and Fournette) is almost always a mistake.
