The trade up to the 6th pick took place after Green was off the board.
They had been working on that trade up for a while before he went off the board. It was obvious who they were aiming for.

Regardless, when Julio is healthy, he is right on par with A.J. Green. Green has way more targets because he isn't splitting catches with Tony Gonzalez and Roddy White.

Yeah, if I remember correctly, Green was the initial target but I think Cincy wanted a bit more for their pick. Atlanta then found a willing trade partner in Cleveland and took Julio since Green was off the board...
While they were initially targeting Green, from most accounts I've read, they had them rated so closely together that they would've been happy with either one...
