Greg Little - The Mystery Guest
The consensus third ranked rooke wide receiver in 2011 is Greg Little, but he comes with a few questions. Cleveland's rookie WR missed all of 2010 due to an NCAA infraction. This is actually one of my favorite themes fitting the mold of Mike Williams out of Syracuse in 2010.
To me (and to Cleveland) this guy is everything Julio Jones is and then some. What's more, Little is going to be available in the middle if not the late first round of many rookie drafts. Take a look at his 2009 reel.

Julio Jones vs AJ Green - Who is the best rookie WR?
Had a chance to review highlight packages of Julio Jones and AJ Green this weekend. I could only find a 2009 highlight package of Jones so let me know if you have a 2010 version to offer.
I believe you should always get a look at the players at the top of any dynasty draft, never take the "expert's" word for it.
Based on the attached footage, I'd take Green first but many feel Jones' situation in Atlanta is just too good to ignore and makes up for any relative talent gap. Count @fantasyjedi and @ChrisWesseling, among the fantasy names I trust, in Julio Jones' camp.
Take a look at the links below and make your own decisions. Let me know if you agree or don't! Taken directly from my @Eric_Thomas twitter feed. Enjoy.
Watching a 2009 highlight package of WR Julio Jones. Looks like the ball gets to his body on about half his catches. http://t.co/l1brRJH
In contrast I give you fellow rookie WR AJ Green. He is a DUDE. WR test: He isn't afraid to put his hands over his head. http://t.co/1tO6Iyw
In my mind, AJ Green passes the eyeball test over Julio Jones. I also fear Jones' presence on a top notch college team may actually work against him. Sometimes a great program elevates a good player and makes him appear elite when he's not.
