. Andre Ware, No. 7 overall, 1990.

The Heisman trophy winner was drafted by the Detroit Lions, but only got four years to soak in the expert tutelage of head coach Wayne Fontes. He could never beat out Erik Kramer or Rodney Peete for a permanent starting job, and ended up with the Raiders, where he was also promptly cut. Ware then made the move to the Canadian League, where he was also quite terrible.

But he's doing just fine these days, working as a college football analyst for ESPN, and as part of the Houston Texans broadcast team.

2. Ryan Leaf, No. 2 overall, 1998.

After doing everything he could to hurt the Chargers short of burning down Qualcomm Stadium and stabbing Junior Seau in the neck, Leaf bounced around to a couple of other NFL teams, most notably the Cowboys, but never found any success.

After leaving the NFL, Leaf spent a while coaching at West Texas A&M (he worked as the quarterbacks coach, and as the head coach on the golf team), but resigned after he asked a player for a pain pill.

And then there's Heath Schuler, a complete bust in the NFL... who went on to be a conservative Democrat in Congress.

Based on the combination of his dismal pro football career, off field criminal activity, and overall jerkitude, I have to say that Lawrence Phillips takes the prize for worst bust EVER.
