Freddie Mitchell -- 2001 (No. 25)

The Eagles were in desperate need of a playmaking receiver when they used the 25th overall pick in 2001 on UCLA's Mitchell. What they got was a guy who never cracked 500 yards in a season and scored only five touchdowns during a 63-game run in Philadelphia. On the bright side, Mitchell was on the receiving end of the fourth-and-26 play against the Green Bay Packers in the 2003 divisional playoffs, as well as Donovan McNabb's 15-second scramble against Dallas on "Monday Night Football" in 2004. However, Freddie's low point might have come when he claimed he didn't know the name of anyone in the Patriots secondary prior to Super Bowl XXXIX. In what would be Mitchell's final NFL game, he caught fewer passes from McNabb (one for 11 yards) than New England safety Rodney Harrison did (two INTs) as the Patriots captured the Lombardi Trophy. To put Mitchell's lack of production into perspective, he retired with career totals of 90 receptions, 1,263 yards and five touchdowns. Reggie Wayne was selected five picks later and has averaged 81 catches, 1,089 yards and seven scores per season over his 12-year career.
