OK, I see your point. Now sub 4.4 aside, you want the Pats to take Greene after a 4.4 but to pass on him if he runs, say, a 4.55? That's interesting.
To me, you don't draft a guy based on what you see at the Combine. That [Combine] is just for confirmation, to make sure you're getting what you think.
If you like somebody, you draft them. Otherwise you're just splitting hairs. The thing for Greene is we don't know what kind of shape he'll show up in.
His up-and-down weight could drop him far. Mayock has him as a 3rd round pick, running a 4.6 to a 4.8, and he calls his character into question, as well.
I know that his friends on the team kid him because all he does is sleep and watch tv "to rest" his body. Which is understandable, considering his style.
But there are also rumors that he put on excessive weight last season doing exactly that. Still, with college studies out of the way and a paycheck on the line, there is a growing number of people expecting him slimmed down and running fast.
Time will tell. But I just don't know that he's the best fit for the Patriots.
Although, listening to Joe Pa rave about Greene's vision (with Lydell Mitchell comparisons), or the number of draft sites who love him, I may reconsider. Kiper says he's definetly worth a 2nd.
