Honorable Mention
These aren’t first round selections, but they’re still warrants a spot for them somewhere on this list.
-Boss Bailey (2003) Rd. 2/Pick 34
The younger brother of the far more talented Champ, Boss never came into his own in Detroit or the NFL.
-Shaun Rogers (2001) Rd. 2/Pick 6
Rogers inconsistency kept him from reaching his full potential. He returned an interception for a touchdown against Denver after which he suffered brief cardiac arrest in the end zone. He played with Cleveland last year but has moved on to New Orleans.
-Teddy Lehman (2004) Rd. 2/Pick 37
Lehman was so hyped by mastermind Matt Millen you would have expected him to spend a first round pick on him. Needless to say, Lehman was never more than a backup special teamer.
