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. "

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
