Dynasty Fantasy Football League advice

Hey everybody. In my short time I've come to spend on here I've realized that many of you have a deeeep understanding of this game. More so than me. So I figured I'd ask you guys for advice.

I'm very big into fantasy football. Every year I play in the same league with old friends that have some very tweaked rules. For instance, the first round routinely has 6 QBs taken. I also do the occasional work league or ones with people from classes.

My question though, is in regards to something I've never done. Dynasty league. I get a roster of 40 guys. At the end of the year, you can keep whoever you want. Or cut whoever you want. Your # of draft picks is determined on how many cuts you make. This is the first year this is being made. So, the entire of the NFL is up for grabs. Next year, it will be mostly rookies and leftover guys not worthy of a team this year.

I have been given the second overall pick this year. The guy picking first made it plainly aware he was taking LeSean McCoy. With these leagues, you gotta get people that last for years and years. To me, and people that make dynasty top pick lists, it seems that the way to go is grab the best WR you can early. Because their window of being elite is 7-9 years instead of 3-4 of most RBs.

So here is my question. If you had to pick 1 WR to start your team around: Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, Dez Bryant.

Johnson is clearly the best. But he's 28. Is he that elite that he will continue topping the league when he is 33-35?

AJ Green is 26. That gives you a safer 2 more years of being elite athletically. In the past 2 years he had 172 targets a year. Has over 1,000 yards every year in the league and 11 TDs in past two years. And Dalton is his QB for the long forseeable future.

Bryant is also 26. Past 2 years had 149 targets a year but caught a higher percentage of balls. Has a little less yards than AJ over the same span. Past two years had 12 and 13 TDs. Romo is his QB for...... who knows how much longer.

I have my own opinions over the smartest choice, but I'll put a poll and see what people think.
