AJ GREEN READY TO ROLL

AJ Green has played exactly 17 snaps of NFL football in the last 530 days. (If you figure the NFL season doesn't start until Sept, it will be more like 670+ days. WRs with injury problems don't get more durable when they turn 32.

I'm all for if Green was back in his prime and didn't have an extensive history of injury (he has missed 23 of his last 32 and 29 of his last 64 games). I just worry that him being around will be the reason they don't put real resources into a WR for the future in this draft, and then AJ (and Ross) will get hurt again and the WR group will be Boyd/Tate/Erickson. You can't have 2 of your top 3 WRs be made of glass and be comfortable.

All that said, it would be great if somehow AJ does stay healthy and does well. I'm just not expecting it.

I’m on record that I want a WR in the 2nd or 3rd. This draft is just too loaded with good ones not to. That said, it’s strange to me some people seem to think AJ has probably just completely forgotten how to play football or something because he had a couple freak injuries and missed a lot of time. Julian Edelman missed the entire 2017 season, and the very next year (which he also missed multiple games during) he was SB MVP. And he is not even close to AJ Green’s level. Personally I want to see Burrow and AJ play together. I think it might just work out...
