Going to drop either Shonn Greene or Bobby Engram for defensive player.

Charles Woodson (GB - CB)

Jonathan Vilma (NO - LB)
Lance Briggs(Chi - LB)
James Farrior (Pit - LB)
Kirk Morrison(Oak - LB)
Karlos Dansby(Ari - LB)


Defensive scoring:

Most people say go with the LB but Winfield is a beast. I'd say him or Briggs would be the best from that list, but Dansby could be a high risk high reward guy as well. And drop Engram.

I have 3 spots for defense and one has to be a DB.

current starters:
D James Harrison (Pit - LB)
D Barrett Ruud (TB - LB)
DB Leodis McKelvin (Buf - CB)

Wow, either you're in a small league or the other owners have no clue who the good IDP's are.

I rank them thus:

Kirk Morrison (a tackle machine)
Yeramiah Bell (another tackle machine, DB that will get over 100 tackles)
A. Winfield - can't go wrong here either
C. Gamble - On par w/ Winfield

As to who to drop I would go with Bobby Engram. I like Shonn Green's potential whereas Engram has never quite lived up to his IMO.

I was thinking more of a DB, but really comes down to who scores more.

but I just noticed that these two were FA too.

D.J. Williams (Den - LB)
Bradie James (Dal - LB)
E.J. Henderson (Min - LB)

its 3rd year doing defensive scoring, but still new I guess.

If you need a DB then take a DB. I like Bell because of the number of tackles he puts up. I also like Winfield who is not far behind him as far as tackles go but with him you also have the increased potential for the sack/forced fumble/fumble recovery/TD all in one play (which he did twice last year).

after thinking about this a bit more I'm leaning Winfield.
