    A.J. Green is by far and away the consensus top wide receiver in the 2011 NFL Draft, but Julio Jones' scorching (albeit unofficial) 4.39 40 time on Sunday will have people talking about a possible swap. Green wasn't so shabby himself, running a 4.48 and then a 4.51. Jones also posted a 4.41 on his other run, and probably vaulted himself into the top-10 of the draft in April with his blazing times -- Rob Rang and Chad Rueter had him going 14th and 10th, respectively, but any hope by the Rams that Jones could slip to them at that 14th spot has probably disappear. Jones' speed probably isn't enough to warrant pushing him ahead of Green on a lot of draft boards, but it's certainly going to make things interesting in a draft class that's got some talent at wide receiver.

    He's gonna be an really good pro WR, he is as undervalued as any prospect in this draft

    Exactly. I still think Green is the #1, but Jones is a top 5 talent himself, and will make some team in the top 10 happy.

    If he goes outside the top 10, someone is getting sick value

    Exactly, its like they are struggling to find legit knocks on the guy, Billick had the nerve to say he needs to improve his blocking, im like have you ever seen Alabama play!?

    What about hands, cause size and speed weren't the problems we had with Stonehands Edwards
