Jonathan Greenard OLB/DE (R-Jr., 6-4, 257)

Greenard really came on strong as an edge rusher this past season. His athletic ability and speed led him to amass 7 sacks and 15.5 tackles for loss in 2017. If new defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder can find a way to incorporate Greenard’s strengths into his new defensive scheme, we could have another top pass rusher on our hands. Also, the demand for edge rushers in the NFL is always high so these guys come at a premium. If our bold prediction comes close to being true, and Greenard is able to become one of the top ACC pass rushers, don’t be shocked to see #7 become the next first rounder for the Cards.
