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. "

    • Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself. 
    • Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
    • That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
