Where would Chad Greenway go this year? 

Post#1 » by revprodeji » Sat Apr 28, 2007 7:22 pm

Considering he never played a down last year for Minnesota he is basically a rookie for us now. He was drafted in the mid-1st last year, but that was a draft with Hawk/Sims as well. Looking at earlier draft reports from last year compared to the 'backers from this year you could argue that Greenway is a better prospect. So where would he go this year?

Ok, I will say top 10. He is better than either 'backer prospect this year.

Thoughts?

According to NFL draft guide Willis is a 90, and Greenway was a 95.

NFL draft guide is crap, Willis is WAY underrated.

He was deemed as one of those, high instincts guy, but no one knew he would run in the 4.3's

Greenway's an OLB, Willis is an ILB, two different positions. ILB's are probably a little tougher to find, since undersized DE's are added to the crop for OLB. Greenway's knee injury would also be taken into account, so Willis would probably go higher.

4.3's? If Willis had run that, I'm not sure there's any way he would have dropped out of the top 7 or 8. I thought he ran in the 4.49 range, and that was faster than people expected.

Willis (6-1, 237 pounds) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 and 4.38. He also had a 4.37 short shuttle and 7.10 three-cone drill. He stood on his numbers from the Combine for the rest. He had a phenomenal workout and clearly made several seven-figure increments in his rookie contract.

I know I'm just a little bit biased, but P-Willie is a stud. Great instincts and the measureables to match.

No way I take Greenway over him.

Sort of off topic but how is Greenway's rehab coming?

From what I have heard he is fine and good to go. Henderson is in the middle this year, and Greenway will get every chance to be a big part of this team.

Just keep him from busting the wedge on kickoffs.
