Chad Greenway?

...A LB who can step in now and be consistently good for many years or one who will have to wait a year or two and could possibly develop into a "Monster."

Exactly the question. Which makes Lawson "potentially" better, but also a relative high-risk in comparison to Greenway. It seems to me Saban is far more prone to go after the proven producer (Greenway) rather than risk a #1 on an uncertainty.

Not necessarily. C. Williams was the more proven producer at Auburn than R. Brown.

But ronnie wasn't projected to switch positions and play TE or OLB either!

Ronnie was a PROVEN RB being drafted as a RB.
