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

Theres a live feed on yahoo that I'll be checking off and on today

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. "

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
