Charles Rogers  - WR, No. 2 overall, Detroit, 2003
Rogers was drawing comparisons to Randy Moss when he came out of Michigan State in 2003. The enormously talented receiver once notched 270 receiving yards in a game, and won the 2002 Biletnikoff award as the nation's best wideout. Rogers went to the Lions second overall in 2003, but over the next two years played in only six games due to broken collarbones. In 2005, he was suspended four games for a third violation of the NFL's drug policy. A year later he was released by the Lions at the beginning of the season. In March 2009, he was jailed for violating probation.
