    When we eventually get to free agency, decisions will have to be made

    Pick three free agents. Be realistic now, while you might drool over Nnamdi if you don't think your team could afford it (assuming there will be a cap) or it's not a team priority, maybe show that. Don't pick players you know are franchised either. Look at your team needs, sorry for the rules :) But some teams will definitely be gunning for Nnamdi

    Then pick three undrafted free agents you can bring to camp. Could the next James Harrison or Jeff Saturday be out there? Which were both undrafted and the Ravens cut both of them :eek:

    Deandre McDaniel Safety Clemson. Dwan Landry SS may be leaving (Cowboys?) and we can do with another saftey.

    Mark Herzlick MLB Boston College, Ravens are stacked at MLB but I can see some being cut and here is a younger cheaper option with huge upside.

    Kris O'Dowd Center USC I'm suprised he wasn't drafted. Ravens don't have great depth on Oline and he can train up behind veteran Matt Birk. Toss up between him and Jake Kirkpatrick, another center




    Charles Johnson DE Carolina. Not going to be cheap but he was one of the best players at the Panthers. Got double digit sacks on a losing team and hopefully he'd jump at a chance to move. He's inline for a big contract either way and he's only 26 and Carolina will want him badly

    Cullen Jenkins DE Green Bay. Another option for the defensive line, good pass rusher and could slot right into the Ravens. Maybe go for this if Johnson doesn't work out.

    Lawrence Vickers FB Browns. Looks like Ravens are moving their FB McClain to RB so we need a FB and Vickers will do. Was blocking for Peyton Hillis last year and he's used to the smash mouth of the AFC North.

    Lions Picks

    Mark Herzlich MLB Boston
    Just as feelingstressed has said a player with a lot of upside and a possible need for the Lions with only one decent MLB (Levy) on the team at the moment.

    James Kirikpatrick C TCU
    Centre is a position of huge need on the team with Raiola been overrun on numerous plays. Kirkpatrick could come in after a year training up.

    Deunta Williams S NC
    Broke his leg last offseason & has some character issues so a bit of a risk but could become a fantastic prospect. Would provide great cover a the FS position for the Lions.



    Vonta Leach FB Houston
    Would certainly provide an upgrade over the current full-back Jerome Felton who only had limited snaps last year. Leach could be the answer at a position that been very weak for the lions for years.

    Manny Lawson OLB San Francisco
    Manny doesn't seem to suit the 3-4 system at the 49ers & moving to a 4-3 system the Lions use could bring the best out of him. He certainly fits the profile the lions look for in their linebackers so would be a great pickup

    Johnathan Joseph CB Cincinnati
    A fantastic player who I would love if he arrived in Detroit. He would certainly improve an avarage CB roster the lions have & possibly be the last piece of the jigsaw for the secondary.

    I too am a Lions fans:
    Free agents would be

    Andre Carter - has always been a beast in a 4-3, better than Avril and McBride
    We won't be in Asomugha running so Johnathan Joseph or Josh Wilson would be great
    Jared Gaither - Foster's due a million dollar roster bonus and will be done by year end anyway

    Herzlich, Kris O'Dowd, Jeff Tarpinian are free agents we need to be looking at.
