    AJ Green or Julio Jones?
    I know majority of the public is on AJ Green, and I'm guessing he'll go top 5.

    But is Julio the better pick? Guy ran a faster 40 in the combine... was arguably comparable if not better at times than Green last year. Was more explosive and on a better team that had QB with a suspect arm and weak deep ball.

    Green just seems to be more complete package, better hands, route running and more natural at the position, but how can you really overlook Jones so fast???

    Will Jones go in top 10? Before Green? Any Jones backers here?

    AJ Green will definitely go before Julio. Although Julio is more explosive and might be slightly better than AJ, he has that lingering foot injury and that will make any team think twice before drafting him. I do think that he will be great addition to any team that picks him up but with that injury it will for sure make everyone think twice... IMO i like Jones over Green, but both are good players and should have bright futures in the NFL... Can't wait for the DRAFT Tonight... make sure to check out my props too...

      AJ Green is a monster...I only watched a few times, but if you match him with a good qb...he could be an immediate impact player in the league...all the attributes physically, and great hands which in obviously key.

      I don't think you could go wrong with Julio...think he would fit in for a lot of teams in the slot

          I think you could say BOTH of these guys played on teams with suspect qb's.

            There is a slight chance AJ Green can be the #1 pick because he is the best athlete out of all.

              both will be great pros, but jones dropped a lot of catchable passes at bama and that will keep him below green. whatever team gets either kid should be happy.

                  Both are going to be really good, but if I had a choice, I would pick Green. It seems to me he's on a mission now, especially with getting hosed by the NCAA.

                    Green is a physical specimen, much like Calvin Johnson. I think Jones will be a stud as well, look at what he did with a horrible QB. If he can go somewhere with a half-decent QB and a decent WR/TE, he could be huge.

                        AJ Green is a real receiver...Very few of his quality out there. Sometimes you got athletes playing receivers and sometimes you have receivers who could use a little more athleticism. He is neither, as he is both athlete and "receiver." Highest I have rated since Randy Moss. He is like a Michael Crabtree, but a lot faster, better.

                          Both are studs. Would probably take AJ Green, but can't go wrong either way. Probably might be worth it to get Jones a little lower because his value could be just as high and won't cost as much.

                              AJ Green was a better player in college than Jones. I'll take production over measurements all day.

                                Matt Ryan is more than capable of turning Julio into an outstanding wide-out in no time

                                    AJ Green is a more polished receiver. Runs better routes, and has better hands. Julio Jones will immediately be one of the most physical receivers in the game and one of the better blocking receivers in the game. Both are capable of being pro bowl players. Im excited to watch them both.

                                        Oh and I would bank on Julio having the better rookie season due to the fact that he is playing with a good young QB. Green is going into a pretty crappy situation.

                                          Jones will be the better pro.

                                            both will be good, jones will have a better qb earlier so that might help him to develop. But from this year wr class i'm looking for greg little, i think he might be the best receiver from this class and will be a better pro on the field

                                              Green if he had a veteran QB, dont know with Andy.

                                                  Speed isn't everything... Green is the best WR to come out of the draft since Calvin Johnson. He will be a stud.

                                                          Id definitely say julio has the better year but beyond that it is really a complete toss up. Its been said many times that the WR position is the hardest position to transition into the NFL and it shows. It usually takes guys 3 years to get their game down. Before last season only 2 out of the last 48 WRs drafted in the first round had 1000yds and/or 10yds their first season, i havent checked to update the stat.

                                                          Throwing history out the window, Green definitely seems like he could a force by the end of the season, especially if palmer comes back but I cant have much hope as a bengals fan for anything. The bengals getting rid of bratkowski was huge, his constant run run pass play calling like it was still the 2005 season was a huge problem for a team supposedly wanting to run a west coast offense with players drafted for that reason.

                                                              Hands down JulioJones boys. Green is a great athlete....fast...great hands but that's all he got. Speed is not everything. Look at Peter Warrick. Man was unstoppable in college. But in the pros.....you got to be able to get off the line and be physical. Look at A. Johnson at Texans. Julio is just that...in due time.
