Correct. Julio has more receiving yards than Green though. Green has more TDs than Julio.
AJ Green - 86 games, 481 receptions, 7135 yards
Julio Jones - 79 games, 497 receptions, 7610 yards

Both players are studs, but AJ Green made more sense at the time because the Bengals needed a WR1 that was ready to be the guy Day 1. Plus rookie QB and OC to go along with that and no other real receiving threats.
Julio had the luxury of the #3 overall selection in the 2008 draft at QB and had 3 years of experience, plus he had an in-his-prime Roddy White and still-solid Tony Gonzalez.
It would have been interesting to see a rookie AJ Green as the #2 with Chad as the #1 and experienced Palmer at QB.
