Every No. 1 NFL Draft pick since 2000

The NFL Scouting Combine is the first sign for everyone to get serious about draft talk. It gives football fans just under two months to prepare for a new name to walk across the stage as Roger Goodell says, “With the first overall pick…” Will they become the new face of the league? Or will they flame out before the end of their rookie deal? History gives us a good sense of how No. 1 overall picks have done in the past.
