Worst 1st round NFL pick ever - My choice: Rocky Thompson, NY Giants
Ran back a kickoff for a TD the first time he ever touched the ball and then never scored another. A close second would be Joe Don Looney, who wound up quitting football to study under a guru in India.

7. My Top Ten Worst Ever NFL First Rounders
In no particular order:

The then Baltimore Colts drafting John Elway knowing he would never play for them; Ditto Tampa Bay and Steve Young

Ditka trading away the future of the Saints for Rickey "Stoner" Williams

Mike Junkin - Browns

John Huarte - Jets

Tim Couch - Browns

Steve Walsh - Cowboys

Rickey Bell - Bucs

Heath Shuler - Redskins

Andre Ware - Lions

So many names could easily make this list!
