When can teams start signing them?

Who do you want?

Yesterday.

Whatever.

Already signed DT John Gill from Northwestern.

I saw Hoyer went undrafted. You have to think he'll get a shot somewhere. A lot of people said he was like the 4th or 5th best QB in the draft (not me, but people did).

Hoyer went to the Pats.

Which means Brian Hoyer will be a Pro Bowler in 2012.

I wonder if the Lions can try and get Dannell Ellerbe signed as an Undrafted FA...

I saw his name in a lot of Mocks around rd 3 & 4, I was surprised he wasn't drafted.

He was a guy I was looking at as well. Depends on if they want to move Follett to the middle with Levy, which I wouldn't have a problem with. Even if they did that, it would be nice to bring him in and give him a shot.

I love the rant Leach had about Harrell and Crabtree today, not being drafted and being drafted lower than expected, respectively.

Leach calling out the Browns. LOL.

In addition to those UDFA signings, the Lions did actually pick up an OL - Kirk Barton was a waiver claim (former OSU tackle drafted late last year and already on at least his 3rd team, I believe).

Anyone know anything about the Sparty?

Daniel Holtzclaw sounds familiar too, but not sure why?

Roadhouse, bitch. :)

Are either of those LBs middle linebackers?

I wouldn't mind seeing how Wiley plays once's he's fully healed. Mlive was saying he was a projected 3rd-4th rounder before he hurt his knee. He tried to come back early, didn't give a great performance, and dropped off the radar.

Hoyer didn't even make Rivals "All Snubbed Team" (and they picked 9 undrafted QBs).

Wow, John Parker Wilson. I remember some peeps that had him going really high.

I'll just go ahead and assume that none of the guys we signed are on that list anywhere.

We also got CB Mark Parson from Ohio and are going to work out RB Antone Smith (FSU, I think) as well.

I bet Chase Daniels makes it somewhere and sticks.

He already signed with someone.

Yeah, he already signed with someone.

Someone that was interested in a QB, I think.

^ You're sources telling you that?

He's implying the 'Skins.

btw, some of the names on that list are very suprising - Hill was a borderline Heisman candidate a couple years ago, Mitch King was a beast, and Rudy Carpenter played for Dennis "all that winning" Erickson.

Kinda sad that Jeremiah Johnson didn't make the all snub list. The dude was probably the best running back in the Pac 10 last year. Amazing how 6 guys make the list over him....oh wait, Oregon never gets respect in college sports, even when they're whooping ass.
