    My only concern with this pick is that he is yet another player they want to play a different position than the one he was so good at in college. I am old enough to know too many college DEs that were drafted to play OLB that didnt work out.

    LOL this is a lose/lose for Bill. He either made a pick that is gonna bust, or Greenard is gonna ball out and we'll all know this is the guy he just settled on after his trade fell through.

    I think Greenard was still going to be the pick and they expected him to be available later.

    JJ literally had the best combine in the history of the combine. He was a phenomenon. He wasnt an "effort guy" according to anybody who knew anything.

    Effort in the sense that his motor never quit. I'm not talking about the combine. I'm talking about game film.

    4 year deal, eh? So...that puts Cal and BOB in line to trade Greenard next offseason for a 6th or 7th, right? ;)

    All jokes aside, I hope he pans out. Looks like they’ll try to transition him into Mercy’s role as Mercy ages out, right? Maybe have Mercy for 2ish more seasons then cut bait?

    I liked this pick. And the Blalock pick. Hopefully it works out.
