In 2016, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded up to select kicker Roberto Aguayo at No. 59. Aguayo made only 22 of 31 field goals as a rookie and was waived the following August, a move the GM later called a "bold move that didn't work out."
In 2023, the Washington Commanders chose cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. over Christian Gonzalez. Forbes, a 6‑1, 166‑lb. player, was benched midway through his rookie season after failing to meet expectations.
