I think Jones-Fitz is a decent comparison. I see AJ Green as more like a Reggie Wayne-type. Either way anyone who drafts either of these guys will be happy.

Yeah on draft day BUT both of these guys are not sure things.. Again 1st round WRs are very sketchy. As for Jones, I see him more of a faster Boldin and Green as a Brandon Marshall type.

Jones gets the slight edge. Taller, faster, stronger than Green. A T.O w/o the headache. The kid ran a 4.38 40 on a bum foot. Green is a deep threat that'll get the ball but isn't built or doesn't seem willing to go over the middle and take a hit.

The NFL Mock Draft Database at DC Pro Sports Report, which crunches the results of various mock drafts around the web, has the Redskins picking Alabama WR Julio Jones with the tenth pick. Of the 59 mocks they surveyed, 29 have Jones going to Washington at number ten.

Jones may need surgery.

I think both look like top tier guys. Possible pro-bowl talent. I tend to like Jones a tiny bit more but givn the injury I'd go Green between the both of them. I think both are in the top 5 in talent in the draft. I like both both better than any QB/RB/OL. But we REALLY need to find some OL talent somehow.

You're absolutely right.

There! I've fixed this whole silly thread! And while we're at it, let's find some DL talent somehow. Either or, both! Yea! Both!

Not with the #10 overrall pick in this draft we dont. We need guards and centers. We would not use a top 10 pick on either of those positions. We are GARBAGE. With the 10th pick, we have to pick an impact player for a position of need. Whoever Shanahan has rated highest on his board (for position of need) once our pick comes around, that's who we need to pick. Whether it's a QB, WR, DE, DT, OR LB.

If we dont like who's available at point, and if the right opportunity presents itself, trade down and acquire more pick. I'd LOVE if we can pick up one of the stud centers in this draft with our 2nd round pick.

I would pick Green because Jones has lapses in concetration while catching the ball that Green did not.

All those measurables don't mean squat if you can't catch the ball when your open.

To quote Bill Walsh, "Only pick a WR when all other positions have been solidified."

That said, I think neither will be there at 10, and if they are, trade down.

I wish this organization would take his advice.

were not going to take wr for a lonnnngggggggg time.

If I am absolutely forced to take a WR...I would take Green. Before the combine there was very little doubt that Green was the top WR based on what both players put on tape during the season. The combine seemed to vault Jones ahead of Green and I just don't believe the combine drills should count more then the college career.

skinster · 03-12-2011, 04:58 PM

Deffff green. Jones might have higher measurables, but Green's fluidity on the field can't be matched by Jones. Jones might be a better track athelet, but Green was made to play football. It comes with such ease to him. Body control is more important than speed when running routes.
