    I'm glad you posted that. Greene looks like he should be a power runner, but he always seems to go down at first contact.

    He’s a misleading back... You would imagine that due to his size, he would break at least a decent amount of tackles, but he doesnt. His running style seems like it hurts himself more than the defense.

    I wish... Im afraid he’ll be gone by 47.

    I wouldnt mind a trade back, grab one of Perry, Hightower, Branch in the 1st then Martin of Miller and Tru Johnson in the 2nd. Theres 3 starters/large contributors in the 1st 2 rounds.

    I'd love a trade with the Browns to move down in the 1st and up in the 2nd to take him.

    Unless he has Antonio Cromartie attempting to tackle him.

    If they're gonna commit to this approach: a big RT (Massie) and a big RB (Ballard) and a speedy WR (Givens) to stretch the defense when they play 8 in the box to stop the run. In later rounds a roadgrading G would be nice as well.

    I actually thought of the NYJ making a move for Richardson when I looked at a recent mock draft, but most have him going no later than 7th or 8th. With the RB position a little less appealing than in the past (passing league now), maybe he'll fall a bit. Just not sure if the Jets have the resources (picks, etc) to move up that high.

    He'd be an excellent fit though.

    He would be an excellent fit. Agreed with your thought process, though, with a pass happy league maybe he falls a bit. You never know. Look how far Aaron Rodgers fell...ANYTHING can happen on draft day. :)

    I don't think we have the best personel for a power run O but let's see what the draft does.

    I am ok with our Guards abiltiy to pull. But also, you must consider that Mangold was often used on pulls and he is great.

    Yeah, we could use a mauler at TE, but I'm ok with a two TE set of Cumberland and Keller. Hopefully Cumberlands leg injury focused him on upper body workout and he comes back stronger.

    Greene has an interesting style when he is running well. He runs and swerves from contact. It seems that when he is at full speed and in the secondary, some DBs get short arms fearing the hit and Greene just veers away from them. He is surprisingly fast in the second level.

    But yeah, at the end of the day, I would be a lot more comfortable with a new RT.
