Yeah, try the Millen Era: 31 wins 84 losses, .270 winning percentage in seven-plus seasons
Lions' first-round picks under Matt Millen:
2008 OT Gosder Cherilus Boston College (starts now, but injured)
2007 WR Calvin Johnson Georgia Tech six touchdowns in 13 career starts
2006 LB Ernie Sims Florida State 1.5 sacks in 35 career starts (now in Philly)
2005 WR Mike Williams* Southern California two touchdowns in six starts for Lions
2004 WR Roy Williams Texas 29 touchdowns in 54 career starts, Pro Bowl in 2006
2004 RB Kevin Jones* Virginia Tech 27 touchdowns in 49 starts for Lions
2003 WR Charles Rogers* Michigan State four touchdowns in nine career starts
2002 QB Joey Harrington* Oregon 62 interceptions in 55 starts for Lions
2001 OT Jeff Backus Michigan started all 115 games of the Matt Millen era
Surprisingly, his 2nd and 3rd round picks are much worse.
