Pathletic Lions Really Know How to Pick'em!

Tom "Killer" Kowalski of Mlive.com is reporting that The Sporting News War Room (which employs former NFL scouts) put together their list of the top 99 available unrestricted free agents and guess what? Not a single Detroit Lion free agent made the list! That speaks volumes about the kind of talent that Millen and Marinelli were bringing into Detroit over the past couple years.

The Lions notable free agents for this offseason are QB Dan Orlovsky, LB Paris Lenon, G Stephen Peterman, WR Shaun McDonald, DT Shaun Cody and RB Rudi Johnson. And yet none of those players are projected to be better then the 99th best free agent that The Sporting News selected.

You might be asking who is this outstanding player that is ranked 99th on the list that is so much better then any Lions' free agent? That outstanding athlete is cornerback Jason Webster. Jason played in just four games over the last two years and yet he is still considered to be better then Orlovsky, Lenon or Shaun Cody! Mind you that those three Lions players I just listed were all starters for Detroit.

Good God...
