2006  - Mario Williams, DE, NC State, Houston Texans
Houston passed over universally popular choice Reggie Bush with the first pick, selecting the freakishly athletic defensive end from N.C. State instead. The controversial selection didn't pay immediate dividends, with Williams logging a modest 47 tackles and 4.5 sacks as a rookie. But his sophomore campaign demonstrated dramatic improvement: 59 tackles, 14.0 sacks, a pair of forced fumbles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown.
