lol I went to ferris and majored in euchre with a minor in quarter bounce and beer pong

I was a Euchre junkie at Northern..

Reiff - Good Pick, don't think anyone would really have a problem with this one.
Broyles - Slightly confused, but could plan on grooming him to jump into the bunch once Burleson is gone. Good teams always seem to have the next replacement waiting in the wings.

After those it seems to be a take a few people at a position of need and hope one sticks. I can't really complain about them as I know nothing about them.

Nothing to get overly excited about in this draft, but we've had way to many drafts that were A+ and we were all excited about the day after the draft that turned into anything but.

Seems like the draft is going awfully slow..fk.

so much bitching on here it's ridiculous.. our management has shown that they can draft some players and build a team lately...if our team doesn't show any improvement over last years..then you can bitch all you want..but its stupid to give draft grades now..because NOBODY knows what the fuck is going to happen..bunch of fucking pussies

lol I know I was like WTF does Greenwood to the Lions have to do with the Raiders. Except for the fact that Greenwood seems to be one of the faster guys in the draft.

Chris Greenwood played small college football but never stopped dreaming big.

Greenwood played high school football at Detroit King and aspired to make it to the NFL.

He made stops at Northwood (NCAA Division II) and Eastern Michigan (NCAA Division I), before excelling the past three seasons at NCAA Division III Albion.

"Everything happens for a reason," Greenwood said. "It's not the path I envisioned. Everyone takes their twists and turns in life. I'm where I feel I should be at this time."

Greenwood, a 6-foot-1 1/2, 193-pound cornerback, is projected to be picked in the fourth or fifth round today in the NFL draft.

ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. tweeted that Greenwood had been moving up the draft board the past few weeks. Greenwood impressed scouts at the East-West Shrine Game and ran a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at Michigan's pro day. He made nine visits to NFL teams.

"They all wanted to know the same information about me, how quickly I could grasp concepts of professional schemes," Greenwood said.

They also asked why a kid from Detroit ended up bouncing around the state.

"They see my size, my speed, and then ask how did someone with my measurables end up where I was," Greenwood said.

He said he told them he wasn't happy after redshirting his first year at Northwood. He played in two games as a redshirt freshman before deciding it wasn't the right fit. "I didn't like the environment," he said.

He tried to be a walk-on at EMU. That didn't work out. Some credits didn't transfer, he said. Rather than sit out another season, Greenwood was on the move again. This time to Albion, where he could play right away.

"One of the coaches from Northwood told me that no matter where you go, if you've got the talent, the scouts will find you," Greenwood said. "That stuck with me."

In 2009, Greenwood had seven interceptions, seven pass breakups and nine tackles in six games for Albion. He had 27 tackles, four interceptions and three pass breakups in 2010.

This past season, he had 26 tackles, two interceptions and four breakups.

"After the first year or so, people started figuring out he's pretty good and didn't throw his way very much," coach Craig Rundle said. "Some of his stats weren't as good as earlier in his career, but that's just because people didn't challenge him. When they did, he made plays."

Rundle said he's happy Greenwood didn't get overlooked.

"You like (to) see guys who work hard be rewarded," Rundle said. "With the performance in the East-West Shrine Game against Division I players and his performance at the Michigan pro day, that's kind of shown that he's not going to get scared away when the lights go on in the big stadium. He's a competitor and has risen to the challenge all the time."

Greeenwood said Albion prepared him well.

"Not everyone is going to take that same path," he said. "It's not just my speed, but my work ethic. I'm going to go to camp and outwork everybody."

Ill be the antagonist to your point.....its easy to build a talented team when youre picking in the top 5 that many years in a row. Their board this year is.....odd....to say the least. A 4th string WR in the 2nd, Bentley is a nickel at best, Lewis has good value but was a DE the past 2 years and will need to switch to OLB....at OLB he wont start. We trade next years 4th to draft a guy that will sit behind the guy you drafted in the 4th lol. Then they draft Chris "i put the word HIDDEN in hidden gem" Greenwood from a d3 school in michigan.

Dude, next season he'll be our slot guy which means he'll be playing a lot. Why do you keeping saying 4th receiver like he's going to sit on the bench.
