Wide Receiver:

Obviously, A.J. Green is the wide receiver of choice here. With 11 touchdowns last year and almost 1500 yards he is one of the best receivers in the league. Their is a bit of question of the Bengals QB situation with a poor showing by Andy Dalton last year in the playoffs, but luckily Green can catch just about anything thrown near him.

I would take Green no later than the second round. He is a name that many people know so he will come off the board fairly quickly, and you do not want to have to put a trade together to get him because he will not be cheap. If you can’t manage to get Green, but still want a great former UGA receiver may I suggest Marlon Brown.

Last year Brown made a huge impact on the Ravens offense with 7 touchdowns and 524 yards as a rookie. I can see them looking to him even more this year now that they know his talent level. I would take Brown in the later rounds as he is not a well-known name to the general sports fan. This is the sleeper of all sleepers ladies and gentlemen. If you feel like being really brave do as I plan and take both of them!
