    Are you talking Fantasy Football?

    From the very little I know, I've been hearing mid-late first round.

    Seems like he's usually going somewhere between 10-20. He certainly has the potential to be one of the most productive backs in the league, but I don't think I'd risk taking him until the end of the 2nd round because you gotta worry about LT stealing carries... specifically goal line carries. Plus we haven't really seen how he holds up at this level with a heavy workload.

    I wouldn't take him till second round. Don't know how productive he will be with LT also getting carries, especially ones in the endzone.

    yeah second round pick is what he should be. if he wasn't an injury risk i would take him in the first.

    Depends upon your league scoring. I wouldn't take him in the first three rounds if you get a point per reception. Otherwise, he would seem to be a late 1st/early 2nd pick.

    Everyone is right. He will be taken in some leagues as early as #10 but can see him and have seen him go down to the late teens.

    Injury concerns, LT, durability over a full season....too many concerns.

    I'd love to take Greene, and I feel bad that I'm probably going to have to pass him twice at #24 and #25 because I just can't pick him in a PPR league that high, and I know he won't come back around to me later on (I have the #1 pick).

    I would take his as your 2nd pick go qb first pending your spot. If you can get a great rb take him then green 2nd

    Not in PPR. Greene will have less than 10 catches all season, and I also wouldn't be surprised if he missed a few games. He'll be great when he's healthy, but I wonder if we handcuff him with LT almost 50/50 for a while to keep Greene healthy for late in the season.

    That's perfect value. He didn't slip too far and it wasn't too early. If you have 12 or more teams in your draft I'd consider that a steal.

    BTW LOVE your name

    I've done a ton of mock drafts and I usually see Greene go right around 13-17, and the choices you have right around there are DeAngelo, Knowshon, Mendenhall, Ryan Grant or Ryan Mathews and I preffer Shonn to all of them

    -DeAngelo is handcuffed by Stewart (stewart was on a bum foot all of last season still rushed for 1100yds)
    -Knowshon is going to have too big of a work load and too bad of an offence to be productive all season
    -Mendenhall is good but theres too many ?'s surrounding Pit
    -Ryan Grant, good team bad talent I dont trust him to be consistent
    -Ryan Mathews, Rookie

    It all depends on the format. Non-PPR, I like Greene over pretty much all of them with the possible exception of DeAngelo. In PPR, he drops behind DeAngelo, Mendenhall, Charles, and possibly others.

    I don't know how you don't trust Grant to be consistent, he's like the steadiest back in the draft.

    I just dont think Grants talent level is up there with the rest of these guys thats all and Im with with you like Charles better then the rest of these guys exept for maybe DeAngelo its just so hard to say how the carries will be devided and who gets more goal line carries

    Im doing standard espn 10 player format

    I think Greene could have a huge year and could be worth a really early pick. But he still is a bit unproven. Just have to go with your gut and take a shot. If I had a late first round pick I would use it on Greene
