Top 10 Foolish NFL Draft Picks of the Last Decade

In 2016, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded away third‑ and fourth‑round picks to move up and select kicker Roberto Aguayo at No. 59. Aguayo converted only 22 of 31 field goals as a rookie, was waived in August 2017, and never attempted another NFL kick.
