Whoever gets him (which will probably be in the later rounds) will get a steal.

That is quite a mouthful and very complimentary when you look at Greenway. I love the way we play our linebackers in coverage - says something about our athletes we recruit and the way our coaches coach. Really prepares them for the NFL, which should be a great recruiting tool. It is easy to say that Edds might be the best player to get the least attention during his career at Iowa. He will be missed next year.
Humpal, Greenway and Edds have all been great cover linbackers, and all could run like deer.
