Offseason Feb. 17th edition

Resigning:

Will James, CB - Not a starting CB for sure, maybe a good fit in the nickel or dime.

Jason Hunter, DE - Has been a great player and a solid backup

Daniel Bullocks, S - A good player, but needs to prove that he can get back to his ability before the injury.

Will Heller, TE - Has been a decent pickup, a solid backup but a better 3rd option.

Jon Jansen, OT - A hometown player, adds great depth to the OLine

Free Agency:

Aaron Kampman, DE - This should be the Lions main free agent their going after. A great 4-3 DE, coming off an injury he will not be getting as much attention, maybe the Lions can keep him in the Midwest

Ladanian Tomlinson, RB- Dont think he would EVER come to Detroit?? Think again, LT is still an elite starting RB in his mind, and with the chance to prove it and start in Detroit I believe he will take it as long as we pay him decently.

Stacy Andrews, OG - Could be a great pick up and could start and add depth all over the line.

Gabe Watson, DT - A huge DT who could be a solid rotational player

Dre Bly, CB - The 49ers are gonna let him walk, and he always has loved playing in Detroit, and with the new look Lions he may really want to return. Could be a good 3rd CB.

Nate Burleson, WR - The 2nd wideout that the Lions NEED

Draft:

After St.Louis goes QB #1, Washington and Seattle look to trade up. The Lions are there offering #2 to the best offer.

Trade #2 and #98 to Seattle for #6 and #14 (it works on the trade value chart)

#6. Eric Berry, SS, Tennessee : Best player in the draft. Could be a huge pick-up and would make a safety tandem that offensive coordinators have never seen.

#14. Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee : Had a great game at the senior bowl. Is a huge DT that Cunningham and Schwartz love.

#34. Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State : The type of leader and player that the Lions said they loved, especially when the met him and coached him at the Senior Bowl.

#66. George Selvie, DE, USF : Was once a first round prospect,  but after a rough senior year he has fallen. Still a great prospect.

#138. Jacoby Ford, WR, Clemson : A homerun threat that proved to be a huge asset during his time at the senior bowl.

#163. Legarrette Blount, RB, Oregon : Showed how much he helps in the running game when he returned for the end of his senior year. Personal problems make him available this late.

#177. Clifton Geathers, DE, South Carolina : A 6'8" defensive end who could be a great late round pick up.
