The Detroit Lions have a history of making some of the worst draft picks in NFL history. However, one of their most recent failures not only served as perhaps the lowlight of the pre-2008 Matt Millen era, but it cost them a chance to land a Hall of Fame player in Andre Johnson.

All of these factors combined with one another led to former Lions No.
