Though AJ Green has good size and athletic ability--after evaluating him on tape his skills in no way dictate he should be selected #4 overall!
Whenever selecting a prospect in the NFL Draft you should always be looking to acquire good value. In this case this would be considered bad value.
When you are selected #4 overall--not only will you be paid as one of the top WRs in the entire NFL before standing foot on the field--but you better produce as such since the team that selected you (Cincinnati Bengals) will be paying you as such.
AJ Green is a one dimensional type WR--in that his one and only thing he is good at is spreading the field & going up and getting balls. Which is an excellent trait but at the NFL level to be considered an elite receiver he needed to show more on film transitioning from the collegiate to NFL level.
He lacks good explosion after stop & go situations. Which if he is going to become a top level WR at NFL level he will need to do. How many times in his collegiate career have you seen him take a short pass or hitch and take it the distance?????? Rare I'm sure!
Ha if Green had been selected in the late 1st RD or early 2nd RD his draft status would be looked upon totally different. But since he was taken where he was 4th overall the Cincinnati Bengals will look back and regret this selection!

It makes sense for Cincy though, Ochocinco is more interested in rock climbing or whatever than football, it seems.
ReplyDeleteAs far as only being able to go up and get balls, isn't that how Randy Moss earned his check most of his career?
