Joey Harrington kicked off a decade of mostly terrible first-round picks for the Lions. Detroit selected him third overall out of Oregon in 2002, hoping for some of the magic he used to guide the Ducks to a 25-3 record and become a Heisman finalist. He brought none.

Instead, he threw 62 interceptions against 60 touchdowns, never completed more than 57% of his passes and went 18-37 as a starter. Harrington also had brief stints with the Dolphins and Falcons before officially retiring in 2008, after only 7 seasons in the NFL.
