Absolutely crucial big time big boy hit.
To think this was one of his knocks makes it even sweeter.
Fred & Kwon are still 1-2, but there are definitely snaps for Greenlaw to have. Great draft pick.

Greenlaw has made a couple really clutch plays against the Seahawks but I'm not in love with his play otherwise. I don't know what you guys are seeing.

You mean other than the 13 total tackles, 11 solo, and 1 TFL?

I'm in love with a rookie outplaying his 5th round draft status

Trade Kwon for a 5th cus Lynch and shanny don't miss day 3 baby! Haha just kidding Kwon, Warner, and greenlaw is a pretty solid LB room. All this extra experience is going to jumpstart Dre's development.

Not Better value than picking up Mack from Bama! Great Story another bad pick tho
They need to study the film of Patriots drafts. It's obvious they don't know what they are doing.
He was picked too early , we passed up good interior Line prospects for a kid who wont ever play a down. We could have gotten him as a priority free agent. I like my linebackers to be able to HIT and thats one of his knocks
I'd bet a paycheck this guy isn't on the roster by this time next year.
I will forever be ashamed of this comment!

What a great story for this kid...while it sucks losing a starter like Kwon it also allows a rookie like Dre to get valuable starter snaps and have a game like this!

He has the best tackling form/technique out of all of our RBs and he has good IQ and good speed. He isn't perfect and he has some lapses, especially when going against rbs in the flat and sideline to sideline, but hes a 5th round rookie.
I think he'd be more appreciated 20 years ago when LBs responsibilities were less diverse and making surefire tackles was a trait that was championed among LBs. Guys like Warner or Kwon, as much as I love them, would probably not start back in the day due to how many tackles they miss.

5th round rookie... This dude has TONS of room to grow. He could end up being a very very good player
