1998: CB Terry Fair, first round,

(20th overall)

Still there: WR Randy Moss (21st overall), S Donovin Darius (25th) and

G Alan Faneca (26th)

Summary: Fair showed flashes in his career, mostly as a kickoff returner, but injuries knocked him out of the league prematurely.

1999: LB Chris Claiborne, first round, (9th)

Still there: CB Chris McAlister (10th) and DE Jevon Kearse (16th)

-- T Aaron Gibson, first round, (27th)

Still there: DE Patrick Kerney (30th)

and LB Al Wilson (31st)

Summary: More promise than production coming out of college, Claiborne never became a playmaker and the Lions allowed him to leave in free agency. Gibson had weight issues, and the Lions were unaware of his shoulder problems when they drafted him. Those injuries ultimately ended his career.

2000: T Stockar McDougle, first round (20th)

Still there: CB Ahmed Plummer (24th), DL Chris Hovan (25th) and LB Keith Bulluck (30th)

-- LB Barrett Green, second round (50th)

Still there: T Todd Wade (53th)

and OL Brad Meester (60th)

Summary: McDougle was talented but had no interest in becoming a productive NFL player. McDougle, another player with weight problems, got by on his talent as long as he could, then happily walked away. Green had excellent speed and was brought in for his coverage ability, but he had no feel for that part of the game.

2002: QB Joey Harrington, first round (3rd)

Still there: CB Quentin Jammer (5th),

T Bryant McKinnie (7th), DE Dwight Freeney (11th) and DT Albert Haynesworth (15th)

-- DE Kalimba Edwards, second round (35th)

Still there: OL Andre Gurode (37th),

C LeCharles Bentley (44th)

and RB Clinton Portis (51st)

-- DE John Taylor, fourth round (134th)

Still there: RB Najeh Davenport (135th)

Summary: Then-coach Marty Mornhinweg never wanted Harrington and really wanted to trade down to get some defensive help. Edwards, like Harrington, looked the part all the way up until the kickoff. Taylor was a huge blunder, even in the fourth round. He was a guy out of Montana State who was a good athlete but had no Football skills.

2003: WR Charles Rogers, first round (2nd)

Still there: WR Andre Johnson (3rd),

DL Dewaye Robertson (4th), CB Terence Newman (5th) and DT Kevin Williams (9th), DE/LB Terrell Suggs (10th) and

S Troy Polamalu (16th)

-- LB Boss Bailey, second round (34th)

Still there: CB Charles Tillman (35th),

T Jon Stinchcomb (37th), CB Rashean Mathis (39th), LB E.J. Henderson (40th) and WR Anquan Boldin (54th)

Summary: On the one hand, the twice-broken collarbone was a, uh, bad break here. However, the Lions were aware of Rogers' potential for drug problems and that he might not have the mental makeup to handle a lot of adversity. The Lions also knew of Bailey's previous knee injuries, which have lingered for almost his entire career.

2004: LB Teddy Lehman, second round (37th)

Still there: S Bob Sanders (44th)

Summary: While injuries were the ultimate reason for his short career, Lehman did not have the playmaking ability of a linebacker chosen that high in the draft.

2005: WR Mike Williams, first round (10th)

Still there: DE/LB DeMarcus Ware (11th), DE/LB Shawne Merriman (12th) and

LB Derrick Johnson (15th)

-- DT Shaun Cody, second round (37th)

Still there: LB Lofa Tatupu (45th)

-- CB Stanley Wilson, third round (72nd)

Still there: DL Justin Tuck (74th)

Summary: Considering the fact Williams had more warning signs than a demolition site and the quality of defensive players available -- not to mention the fact the Lions did not need a receiver -- this could be the worst draft pick of all time. Not just in Lions' history, but in the history of the planet. Cody has not developed into anything more than a backup player, while Wilson was given every opportunity to show what he could do, and he did.

2006: RB Brian Calhoun, third round (74th)

Still there: OL Jason Spitz (75th)

and RB Jerious Norwood (79th)

Summary: In a different system, Calhoun might have had a shot at some success, but he was the wrong kind of guy for the system then-coordinator Mike Martz wanted to run. At this spot, the Lions were debating over taking an offensive lineman or Calhoun, and they guessed wrong.

2007: QB Drew Stanton, second round (43rd)

Still there: LB Lamar Woodley (46th) and LB David Harris (47th)

Summary: Considering the Lions' defensive needs, this was a poor decision. However, Stanton is the only guy on this list who still has the time (and potential) to play himself off of it.
