08:01 AM ET 03.23 | To some, former Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green is among the most talented NCAA players they've seen, and there is some hope in the Peach State he could begin his NFL career in-state. There is every indication that Green will be a top-five draft pick, a game-changer, the rare kind of player who years from now will make every other general manager think, "Why didn't we take him?" or "Why didn't we trade up to take him?" The Falcons shouldn't be one of those teams looking back with regrets. They need to find a way to get A.J. Green. Yes, the Falcons need help on defense. The Georgia Dome custodial staff is still sweeping up the ashes after what Aaron Rodgers did to the secondary in the playoffs. But this team also needs a significant dose of wow, and Green can provide that.

Considering the article was talking about
"custodial staff is still sweeping up the ashes after what Aaron Rodgers did to the secondary in the playoffs"
trading into the top 5 wouldn't leave you with much draft depth

You can never have enough receivers when you have a QB that actually knows how to go through his progressions (receivers) during a play.

One article mentioned Green is not known for blocking; this is important if receivers blocking is an expected facet of the offense.

The Falcons pick 27th. He is long gone by then. The cost to move up in the top of the draft?

They would have to put together one hell of a package to move up to grab this guy.

When the only assets available to trade are draft choices, I will be a bit surprised to see much movement.

The Atlanta General-Constipation strikes again.
Our defense got us bounced last year, so let's ignore it and burn massive resources to get a WR that we need much, much less. That idea is so stupid it makes my teeth hurt.

Rookie WR's usually end up a #2 or #3 option the first year.
