Rams project Greco at right tackle —
ESPN.com - NFL Nation Blog
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando Health permitting, the Rams have their starting tackles in Orlando Pace and Alex Barron. They picked up insurance early in the third round when they drafted Toledo offensive lineman John Greco. "We're going to line him up at right tackle, knowing that he gives us versatility. He can play guard, he can play both sides of the ball. He is extremely smart, ...
Rams follow predictable course; more on Donnie Avery —
Turf Show Times
While the moaning about taking Donnie Avery in the second round will likely continue for some time, drafting Toledo OT John Greco was not surprising. In fact, I, hating to toot my own horn, said I would have taken Greco in the third round of the SBN mock draft had it continued for three rounds. Greco has good solid run blocking ability that makes him a potential starter at RG. He's 6'4" and ...
Dolphins putting it on the lines —
ESPN.com - NFL Nation Blog
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando For a team with three of the top 66 choices, the Dolphins resisted the temptation to put style before substance. They did draft a quarterback, but they snagged Chad Henne later (66th) than we might have expected him to be available. Miami has taken two offensive linemen (Jake Long, Shawn Murphy), two defensive linemen (Phillip Merling, Kendall Langford) and, ...

ESPN.com - NFL Nation Blog
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando The Rams have selected Toledo guard John Greco with the 65th overall choice. St. Louis needed to bolster its offensive line. Greco provides some insurance, and a potential starting prospect. The Rams lost most of their starting offensive line to injuries last season, the No. 1 reason the team lost quarterback Marc Bulger on its way to a 3-13 record.

Tackles still around —
Railbird Central
Many people think the Green Bay Packers still have to look for the offensive tackle of the future. Two of the more highly rated prospects left in the draft are both tackles. Anthony Collins of Kansas and John Greco of Toledo are still hanging around and don't figure to last long today. Can they play in a zone blocking scheme? I'm not exactly sure, but a quick look at their profiles makes ...
