How good does Green look in just the 1st quarter of the Georgia/Auburn game? Already 4-98 with 2 TDs. Man among boys. Excited to see where he goes in the NFL draft.

The Rams unfortunately may win too many games to draft him.

I think he is a nice prospect however I do not feel he is in the Calvin / Dez class of prospect category. Willing to be talked out of that though...

McShay this week called him the best WR prospect since Calvin.

Dez isnt in that category either.

Good Wr but not even close to the same league as Green.
AJ Green has all the tools and is a freak of nature. I agree he is the best WR prospect since Calvin and before that you have to go a long ways back to find one comparable.wiscstlatlmia

1.Calvin
2. Fitz
3.Andre
4.Dez
...I dont see AJ as the elite talent everyone is talking about...great hands yes, but what else does he have?can he beat press coverage? Not very good after the catch either. Dont get me wrong, solid prospect but i wouldnt put him in the above group.

As an owner of both Calvin and Andre, I got Andre ahead of Calvin. Calvin can do just about everything but not this:

I think he will be way gone before the Rams are on the clock.Fortunetly for the Rams this could be a very good WR draft is the juniors come out (which I don't know why they wouldn't)As a Rams fan I would be very happy getting Malcom Floyd as a cancellation prize.

I forgot about that play against Arizona. Andre is a beast - unfortunately he is far less than 100% right now. When healthy he is a beast.All of these arguments about the best WR are splitting hairs.
Calvin, AJ, Fitz all uberstuds
Dez, AJ Green a few others have a chance....

that is just not so.....maybe you need to watch a little more SEC football. one must remember that Jeffery is a year behind. both are very good but Jeffery makes the difficult look easy.
Irony isn't Fragis and Redmen's strong suit.

Yep, -10 for not knowing it had nothing at all to do with your spelling. Oh, and after reading your sig, you're down another 20 points, chief.So I'm posting something about football and somehow get - points for spelling something wrong, dude seriously.

Back on topic - Jeffery is a beast.

I think Green has good odds of being an elite NFL WR, but we'll see where he ends up. He doesn't have Calvin's freakish measurables, but he has amazing hands and great ability to make adjustments while in the air. He will definitely need to add a little muscle for the NFL, but that's true of a lot of guys coming out of college.

Jefferies did have more success against Janoris Jenkins than Green did.

Why wait another year when he can be a high 1st round pick THIS year? Between Green, Blackmon, Jones, Baldwin and Floyd, this WR class is just ridiculous.
To commish is my wish

You forgot to acknowledge that Crabtree has no QB. Put Crabtree on the Falcons or Giants and then we'll make a fair assessment.

The phrase is "salt in the wound" , not womb.

Comparing A.J. Green and Calvin Johnson is a little like comparing apples and oranges. Johnson is a freakish athlete due to his size, strength, speed and vertical. However, I'd say it's still questionable that he's more than an average route runner.
Some might argue that Johnson doesn't need to be a great route runner because of his physical gifts. While I agree he doesn't "need" to improve his routes to remain a productive player, it's short-sighted to think it wouldn't help his career tremendously if he ran a greater variety of routes with skill. While I'm sure a team that uses receivers the way the Bears do would adjust its offense to accommodate Johnson, he's not the ideal type of route runner for that scheme.
A.J. Green will never have the body type of Calvin Johnson, but he is a more agile player capable of developing into a player like Torry Holt in his prime - a player than can run any route and be a factor in the red zone one-on-one.
Holt had 8 years of 80+ receptions and 1180 yards and he could run every route you'd want to see from a receiver.
I still need to watch Green with a bigger magnifying glass, but from what I have seen he's the type of player that would fit in any system. He'll probably gain 5-15 pounds over the course of his career but paired with a quarterback with excellent anticipation, he can be as much of a stud as players that earn their living running mostly on perimeter routes and getting yards after the catch.

THey said Crabtree was the best WR in many years.They said Calvin was the best WR in many years.They said Dez Bryant was the best WR in many years.They even said the same about Mike Williams and Charles Rogers.I think AJ Green will be OK at the next level and he could reach stud label if he lands in the right spot (ask Crabtree what that means).So many variables - but certainly a talented WR.

Who is they? I didn't say that about any of those guys. I've said that about 3 guys; Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerld and now AJ Green.

don't have to go back that far...........Braylon Edwards. don't forget what Braylon was early on and in his michigan days. same game/body type/dominance. infact i'll surprised if Green runs a faster 40 time at his pro day than Braylon did(4.38) when he's ready. both still destroyed with young QB's at the helmside note we all agree Calvin how awesome athletically Calvin is, however Randy did run a 4.25 40 as a 18yr old when he had a cup of coffee with the seminoles. Bowden has this quote where he said he uses Deion as a measuring stick for athletes and he came away saying Randy was a much bigger Deion which he thought was impossible.moderated said:fruity pebbles said:
