That raises this figure to around a 5.5 or so.

Greene is exactly the sort of back the Texans should be thinking about with one of their mid-round picks, maybe the third round. Paired with Slaton, whatever new back the team adds doesn't need to be a third down specialist and receiver - - Slaton can do that. They need a bigger bruiser capable of running inside like Greene.

Check these highlights of Greene, especially bouncing around inside and lowering his shoulder. He's not going to be confused with someone nimble or fancy, but man, a between-the-tackles tough guy is just what the Texans need.

I totally agree. He's very impressive and is exactly what we need. My one concern would be if he has the speed to be effective on the zone-stretch. We need our backs to be able to threaten the edge in order to create the misdirection and also the space for the cutbacks. My impression is that he does have that neccessary speed, but if he slides into the third round then clearly it is because teams have concerns about his speed.
