If going DE either Orakpo or Brown would be my choice. Maybin should not have come out the dude is as light as a feather and will pay the price his rookie year. We need a Draft pick that can make an impact ASAP. Harrell has done absolutely nothing because of injuries, so if we go to DT, I think there is only one at the 9th spot and that is Raji. If looking at LB's, if he is there jump on Curry, if he is gone, take Maualuga. Both of these guys could be animals.

FA I think we could pick a solid OL and a solid CB. I would love to pick up Leonhard from Baltimore, but I know we are filled at the safety spots.

thoughts?

Orakpo or Brown are the first names that come to mind....seem to fit the 3-4 well. BJ Raji would if he was not such a turd.

Ray Mauluga (sp)? How does he fit the needs of a 3-4?

Jimmy Leonhard please. I have always been a Leonhard fan and this kid has layed it on the line for the Ravens. What a solid tackler with a nose for the football. His punt return skills are decent also.

I wonder if some of the reasons the other DC didnt want to come is that they were told the Packers would not go after f/a they wanted?

But Capers is okay with that way of thinking..

Just me thinking out loud

I say go after Terrell Suggs and pick up a huge nose tackle in the draft. Maybe trade up into the first round again after picking up Orakpo at the #9 spot.

Gross, and another lesser FA Olineman.

Then use every draft pick for D.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I think with this move, if Jason Taylor is released from the Skins like he was rumoured to be, Taylor is immediately in play for a FA signing.

Perhaps a higher end LB like Channing Crowder, who is a FA too. Both he and Taylor have a history with Capers.

As much as I'd love to see a big name FA here, it won't happen. Ted Thompson is going to stay out of the FA waters the first couple of weeks, and then he's going to go hard after players he thinks can be impactful.

That approach would take us out of the running for players the ilk of Peppers, Suggs, Haynesworth, etc.

Well the front seven needs to be rebuilt

Here are some names listed that are free agents that could fit.

Linebackers

Karlos Dansby
Zach Thomas
Kevin Burnett
Ray Lewis
Terrell Suggs
Bart Scott
Willie McGinnest
Andra Davis
Channing Crowder
Eric Barton
Rosevelt Colvin
Roderick Green

Defensive Line

Gabe Watson RFA
Colin Cole
Tank Johnson
LaRoi Glover
Albert Haynesworth
Bertrand Berry (hybrid)
Chris Canty
Dwan Edwards
Julius Peppers
Orpheus Roye
Igor Olshansky



My preference would be to probably sign Terrell Suggs and sign a Chris Canty like player. Also looking at Igor Olshansky and Orpheus Roye would be interesting as well as both can play 3-4 DE.

Canty, Crowder, and Scott would suffice for me if we can't land Suggs or Haynesworth.

Ray Lewis brings leadership, but I doubt he'd play for us or revert to a 3-4 again--where his numbers just aren't good enough.
