7: Vernon Gholston – 6th overall to Jets in 2008:
Another size-speed workout warrior who came into amidst a ton of hype, Gholston signed a $32 million contract including $21 million guaranteed with the Jets in July 2008.
That turned out to be money wasted. Gholston suited up in 45 games for the Jets but did not register a single sack in that time. He was signed and then waived by the Chicago Bears and St. Louis Rams in 2011 and 2012. One of the biggest draft busts in history, bar none.
