    I think I would take Jones over Green....and I really like Fairley....and I agree...that flag was a homer call...the kid makes a big sack and they throw a flag for that.

    Some Bama booster got in to the pocket of the ref who threw the flag.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

        I would take Green over Jones because we need more of a strong guy who can pluck the ball out of the air over a speed guy. This doens't mean Green is slow, I think he is the speed of Cribbs, or even slightly faster, but he can get in there and get it done in the middle if we need him too. Plus Colt doesn't have a long ball arm which is why we would need a speed guy.

          When Jones wants to play, he is unstoppable. Green is just an all out force. If we get green though we need a cannon arm to get it to him.

            This is supposed to be a great draft for DT/DEs and wide receivers, correct? Which position would be more likely to yield a great pick in the 2nd round

              I think we have a better DL (Rubin, Schaefering, Rogers, Coleman, Smith) than WR corps (nobody). I don't doubt at all we'll be adding some youth to the DL next year, but I can't see us passing on a WR unless there's just nobody left on the board. If we were looking for a 2nd or 3rd receiver, I could see waiting, but we're not... we're looking for a serious #1.

              If we did get a Malcolm Floyd or Vincent Jackson, I could see looking for speed, like Broyles in round 2, but there's no guarantee he'd still be there.

              Doesn't take a cannon to go over the top. Any NFL quarterback can do that. The big arm is more about zing between the levels and on deep outs. Hell, Frye could go over the top. It's mostly something you do to keep defenses honest, because the completion percentage past 20 yards is like 37.

                Shep, I think that a veteran WR really helps a LOT more than a rookie. That said, I think Broyles is really quick but is a slot receiver. We desperately need a quality X-receiver to command double teams. A big physical guy with some speed. I think a lot of what type of receiver they choose to look for will also depend on what they do with Evan Moore. Does he convert to a WR or do we keep trying to make him a TE? He's a blocking liability it would seem by looking at the replays...so perhaps a job on the outside where he'll tower over most corners is our best bet.

                  I've yet to watch the tape of the 'Bama- Auburn game- but Jones put up huge numbers.

                  It's early- but let's be realistic- Green will almost certainly be the first wr off the board- and unless the Browns totally fall apart the rest of the season Green will already be off the board when the Browns pick.

                    Like the rest of the Bama offense, Julio Jones was absolutely beastly in the first half, but he had some costly drops and miscues in the 4th quarter.

                      I agree, we are NOT looking for a number 2 receiver, we NEED a number one. Take WR as soon as possible without reaching, an above average D-lineman is a lot more valuble than an above average WR.. I think we could pick a D- lineman in later rounds than an impact WR
