the rams have had 3 picks with the second pick in the draft in the last ten years and I think you can call all three busts - Robinson, Smith and Long. Long had the best career of the three, but was not a consistent wrecking ball that you would expect as a #2 overall DE.
Jets have 2 with Johnny "Lame" Jones and Blair Thomas Â

fair enough. in hindsight, I'm sure they would have taken Ryan or Flacco as they were in QB purgatory for 10 years.
Only three times was the 2nd pick a defensive player, and yet defensive players accounted for more than half of the Pro Bowl credits over the same span.
shows how hard it is to predict NFL success based on a college career and measurables.
Yep. I was thinking the same.

But no all-time greats, except maybe Wentz if he continues along his path.
Roman Gabriel and Archie Manning were also #2 picks
