His first round draft picks from 2001-2015 are pretty much consistently failures. Jeremy Guthrie in 2002 and then Francisco Lindor in 2011 are really the only two players to make any sort of impact in the Majors. That's not very impressive over a 14 year run.
They're not 1st round picks but if you're discussing the draft record you're missing out on some very good players I think, perhaps most notably Chris Archer and to a lesser extent Jeremy Guthrie. Their closer, Cody Allen, was a draft pick. I know their 2009 and 2010 picks were pitchers who have had significant arm problems. Chisenhall is a 3B turning into an excellent defensive RF. As well, their picks from 2012 to present are still at varying levels of the minors working up. Some of their starters from this past season were international FA signings.
I don't think they have a great track record there, but I'm not fully aware of what some of the reasons for that might be beyond Shapiro.
