Sorry JaMarcus Russell, you're def a top choice here.

Mike Williams, No. 4 Pick of 2002 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bills - A better choice at offensive tackle for the Buffalo Bills in 2002 would have been Bryant McKinnie, who helped lead the Baltimore Ravens to a Super Bowl win years later. Instead, they took Mike Williams out of Texas and he only lasted four seasons mostly due to a poor work ethic. Live and learn.(Photo: Mark Konezny/NFLPhotoLibrary)

Vernon Gholston, No. 6 Pick of 2008 NFL Draft, New York Jets - One of the biggest busts in NFL Draft history, Vernon Gholston was billed as a sack artist out of Ohio State in 2008. That's precisely why the New York Jets snatched him with the sixth overall pick in the 2008 draft. One problem—in three seasons with Gang Green, he didn't record one sack. He was released in 2011. Jets' fans are still shaking their heads about the defensive end. (Photo: Nick Laham/Getty Images)

Kenneth Sims, No. 1 Pick of 1982 NFL Draft, New England Patriots - This defensive end out of Texas had poor practice habits and quite frankly wasn't worth a No. 1 pick despite his "Game Day" nickname. Although he lasted seven years with the New England Patriots, he only played a full season once and was released in 1990 after being arrested for cocaine possession.(Photo: Focus on Sport/Getty Images)

Ki-Jana Carter, No. 1 Pick of 1995 NFL Draft, Cincinnati Bengals - The Cincinnati Bengals used the first pick in the 1995 NFL Draft on Rose Bowl MVP running back Ki-Jana Carter from Penn State. His NFL career was plagued by injuries and he never panned out. To think that the Bengals could have used the pick on Curtis Martin, who turned out to being a Hall of Fame rusher, or Terrell Davis, a two-time Super Bowl-winning running back. Damn.(Photo: Doug Pensinger /Allsport)

Kyle Boller, No. 19 Pick of 2003 NFL Draft, Baltimore Ravens - In five seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, Kyle Boller threw 45 touchdowns...and 44 interceptions. Not good. In hindsight, a better choice at QB would have been Tony Romo. (Photo: Jim Rogash/Getty Images)

Tim Couch, No. 1 Pick of 1999 NFL Draft, Cleveland Browns - Tim Couch wound up throwing 64 touchdowns and 67 interceptions in his five years with the Cleveland Browns. The team and organization as a whole had bigger issues than just Couch, but he was never the franchise quarterback that the Browns had hoped for. Looking back, Donovan McNabb would have been the better choice.(Photo: Brian Bahr/Getty Images)

David Carr, No. 1 Pick of 2002 NFL Draft, Houston Texans - David Carr was the first-ever pick for the Houston Texans and good lord did the quarterback take a licking his rookie season, getting sacked 76 times.

Chris Henry, No. 50 Pick of 2007 NFL Draft, Tennessee Titans - Chris Henry was a nightmare of a pick for the Tennessee Titans — even at No. 50. Not even three months into his rookie season in 2007, the running back was suspended four games for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. In 2008, his production dwindled to three yards on one carry and by 2009, he was released.(Photo: Joe Murphy/Getty Images)

Maurice Clarett, No. 101 Pick of 2005 NFL Draft, Denver Broncos - Maurice Clarett had well-publicized controversy being dismissed from Ohio State. Knowing this, the Denver Broncos gambled on the running back anyway with the 101st pick of the 2005 NFL Draft. Clarett didn't even make it to the season, as the team cut him during that preseason. What's worse is the Broncos could have had Darren Sproles, who remains a productive rusher to this day.(Photo: Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)

Ryan Leaf, No. 2 Pick of 1998 NFL Draft, San Diego Chargers - If JaMarcus Russell is the biggest draft bust of all time, quarterback Ryan Leaf is a close second. Very close second. Looking back, the San Diego Chargers could have had cornerback Charles Woodson or wide receivers Randy Moss or Hines Ward instead. Leaf was an almost instant disaster, not being able to hang on the NFL level at all. (Photo: Stephen Dunn /Allsport)

Ron Dayne, No. 11 Pick of 2000 NFL Draft, New York Giants - Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne was expected to be a bruising, punishing running back for the New York Giants. But the only thing the rusher punished was the scales, gaining more pounds than yardage in his four seasons with Big Blue. Hey, Giants' fans — could have had Tom Brady instead that draft. All teams passed on Brady, who wound up going to the New England Patriots with the 199th pick, but we're just saying. (Photo: Donald Miralle/Getty Images)
