Bust |
If he eats his way out of the league, perhaps he can do ads for Skittles. |
Alex Smith |
1 |
2006 |
Bust |
He's playing OK now, but he's a bust for a No. 1 overall pick. |
Eli Manning |
1 |
2004 |
Hit |
Some will argue how great Eli Manning is, but he's a top-12 NFL quarterback and a Super Bowl winner. The Giants paid him a ton of money for a reason. |

Was a Pro Bowler; sold tons of tickets; reached NFC Championship; exciting player before drowning dogs. |

The last defensive tackle to go No. 1. |
Darrell Russell |
2 |
1997 |

Two great years in 1998 and 1999 - then out of the league a couple of seasons later. |

Glenn Dorsey |

2008 |
Bust |
Some will say it's too soon, but I haven't seen anything out of him in two years. Two career sacks from the guy who was supposed to be the next Warren Sapp. |
