I like both.

Washington absolutely abused Cowboys 2017 2nd round pick Awuzie back when they played in the bowl game in 2017

Calvin Ridley measurment came in Very unimpressive yesterday.

He is a solid route runner with good hands, but the underwear olympics could hurt his stock.

He came in Real slender at 189, among the smallest hands 9 1/8", among the shortest arms (only bigger than the 5'10 Kirks) 75 6/8" almost 3" shorter than James Washington's.

Lets not get caught up in size. Big and tall doesn't = better

I'll watch a bit of the RBs but thats probably it. Tomorrows the big day with QBs, WRs, TEs.  Monday is also very important , all DBs and we will be in the market for any saftey not named Minkah Fitzpatrick

Again your comparing him to one of the quickest fastest WRs out there, horrible comparison.  Ridley isnt a jet and going to blow by them.  If he doesnt have the speed to blow by like a AB, or the size to dwarf and manhandle someone like Julio.  Its going to be tough to be a #1 guy going against the like of Lattimore.

He is a great route runner, but he has disappeared at times the last 3 years and its not all on the QB.  You get a DB whose bigger faster stronger than him and can cover, they can shut him down

YOU were talking about his size not speed or Quickness. i gave you a comparison of a guy with the same measurements 

How can we talk about anything else when the guy has not been thru a single event yet

We cant, but he's projected to be a 4.5 may squeak into the 4.4s, not supposed to put up huge bench.  His size isnt great and you compared him to AB.  But those other small tweener overcame those by being fast, quick and could jump through the roof.  Ridley is a tweener like those guys but doesnt have those other traits that they do in the other categorizes.  He is a damn good route runner, but there are a couple other good route runners as well that are bigger faster or stronger, who had they suited up in that Alabama offense, wouldve looked like the next coming as well

Again all you did was down play him because of his size there was nothing else in the Original comment 

and now  seem to agree with me that his size alone cant disqualify him .. So why the argument

and cant judge a guy based on events he hasn't run yet

"His speed, elite body control, and wiry-strong frame still showed on tape, making NFL scouts wonder what he could be on Sundays. "

    • Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play
    • ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
