Drafted: Denver Broncos, 2004 (First round, No. 17 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Full-time starter in 10 of his 11 NFL seasons. Led AFC in tackles in 2007.
The skinny: Williams proved to be a reliable and durable performer. He started from Day One with the Broncos and was one of the top players at his position in his prime years.

Drafted: Detroit Lions, 2004 (First round, No. 30 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Played five years in the NFL, starting at least 10 games in each of four seasons with the Lions. Rushed for 1,133 yards as a rookie.
The skinny: After his big rookie year, Jones' career didn't take off like many expected. Detroit released him after four seasons and he played sparingly with the Bears for one more year.

Drafted: Tennessee Titans, 2006 (First round, No. 3 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Over a six-year pro career, Young was selected to two Pro Bowls and was the 2006 Offensive Rookie of the Year.
The skinny: Young struggled mightily with ball security, throwing 30 interceptions and fumbling 22 times over his first two years. Beyond that, he eventually fell out of favor with Titans coach Jeff Fisher and was released. The Philadelphia Eagles signed Young, but that was a short-lived experiment. Although he never developed much as a passer, he managed to compile a 31-19 career record as a starter. Still, for being a No. 3 overall choice, Young's career was a disappointing one.

Drafted: Detroit Lions, 2006 (First round, No. 9 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Sims played four of his eight NFL seasons in Detroit, where he was a defensive captain in 2007 and 2008. He started every game for the Lions over his first three NFL seasons.
The skinny: Sims was a tackling machine early in his career with 371 stops over his first three years, but later acknowledged that his commitment to the sport was lacking. It was somewhat telling that the Lions, rather than signing him to a second contract, traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles in a three-way deal for TE Tony Scheffler and a 7th-round pick. His lone year in Philadelphia was his last in the NFL as a full-time starter.

Drafted: Minnesota Vikings, 2007 (First round, No. 7 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Peterson has reached seven Pro Bowls and was the 2012 NFL MVP. He's won three rushing titles and is one of seven backs in NFL history to record a 2,000-yard season.
The skinny: The former Vikings star is among the most accomplished rushers the NFL has ever seen. After 10 years in Minnesota, he split time between the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals last season.

Drafted: Jacksonville Jaguars, 2008 (First round, No. 8 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Monroe was an immediate starter at left tackle for the Jaguars and went on to make 90 starts in 93 career games.
The skinny: A rock-solid performer for Jacksonville, Monroe was traded to Baltimore in 2013 and played parts of two more seasons with the Ravens before retiring in 2016.

Drafted: Cincinnati Bengals, 2009 (First round, No. 6 overall)
NFL accomplishments: The former Alabama star will enter his 10th NFL season this fall. He's made 85 career starts at offensive tackle.
The skinny: Injuries plagued Smith's first two NFL seasons in Cincinnati, and at that point, the bust label prematurely affixed itself to the right tackle. He went on to start 45 games over a three-year stretch in which his play as a pro peaked. More injuries followed, including a lost season with the Vikings, and now he's back in Cincinnati trying to reinvent his career as a guard.

Drafted: New York Jets, 2010 (Fourth round, No. 112 overall)
NFL accomplishments: McKnight was a backup running back with the New York Jets for three seasons and played briefly with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2014.
The skinny: Although McKnight never caught on as a starter, he was a solid special-teams player and recorded the longest play in Jets history with a 107-yard kickoff return in 2011. Tragically, McKnight was shot and killed in a road rage incident in 2016. The man who killed McKnight was found guilty of manslaughter by a jury in suburban New Orleans last month.

Drafted: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 2011 (Second round, No. 51 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Bowers started just 10 games over a five-year NFL career.
The skinny: Though he was a prolific pass rusher in college, Bowers was primarily a backup in five years with the Bucs and dealt with multiple injuries, including a ruptured Achilles tendon, that affected his development.

Drafted: Philadelphia Eagles, 2013 (Fourth round, No. 98 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Barkley has made just six starts in his career and did not see action in 2017 after being picked up midseason by the Arizona Cardinals.
The skinny: Barkley's two years on the Eagles' bench ended when he was jettisoned to the cheapest of prices -- a conditional 7th-round draft pick. The former USC star got his most extended chance to play with the Chicago Bears in 2016, and threw 14 interceptions and just eight TD passes in six starts. If he'd been a first-round pick, he'd be considered a definite bust, but as a fourth-round pick, the cost for the Eagles wasn't a steep one.

Drafted: New Orleans Saints, 2014 (Fifth round, No. 169 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Powell wasn't able to stick to an NFL roster after one season with the Saints.
The skinny: Like a lot of fifth-round picks, Powell's been through a revolving door of releases and second chances since the Saints selected him in 2015. He got shots with the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks after being let go by the Saints. Seattle let him go during the preseason last year.

Drafted: Houston Texans, 2014 (First round, No. 1 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Clowney has been selected to the last two Pro Bowls and made a career-high 9.5 sacks in 2017.
The skinny: The only player listed here to be both the nation's No. 1 recruit and the NFL's No. 1 draft pick, Clowney's career is on the upswing after a slow start that included microfracture surgery.

Drafted: Tennessee Titans, 2015 (Second round, No. 40 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Green-Beckham was a part-time starter in two NFL seasons, one with the Tennessee Titans and another with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The skinny: After his rookie season in Tennessee, the Titans traded Green-Beckham to the Eagles, who released him less than a year later. He went unclaimed on waivers last summer. Barring a comeback, Green-Beckham's pro career will go down as a major disappointment with just 68 catches for 941 yards and six TDs.

Drafted: Arizona Cardinals, 2016 (First round, No. 29 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Nkemdiche has yet to start an NFL game in two seasons (17 games played).
The skinny: It's been a frustrating career start for a first-round draft pick whose lone highlight has been a 21-yard fumble return for a TD against the Giants in December.

Drafted: Jacksonville Jaguars, 2017 (First round, No. 4 overall)
NFL accomplishments: Fournette ran for 1,040 yards last season, and was one of only two rookie rushers to surpass 1,000 yards.
The skinny: The addition of Fournette helped one of the NFL's most impressive turnarounds last year as the Jaguars, 3-13 in 2016, reached the AFC title game.
