Calvin Ridley, WR Alabama

I like him, but not top ten for sure.

Thats what they said about obj, especially after his pitful bench press at combine, how that turn out lol.

From ODBJ's draft profile:

Weaknesses
Adequate height. Lacks elite top-end speed to separate vertically. Could stand to polish the finer points of his route running. Inconsistent making contested grabs -- can be out-muscled in a crowd. Has some concentration drops. Can improve as a blocker. Was not an impactful punt returner. Was held in check by Florida and Alabama.

Also Beckham was projected as a late first at this stage and did not rise into the top 15 until the final few weeks leading up to the draft.

I'll trust Kyle's evaluations on any offensive player we take(yes even after Joe Williams)

There's a lot to like about Ridley's game. IF he's the pick I'm expecting great things from him in this offense. However seeing what Jimmy was able to do with our current roster makes me thing we're better off going in another direction.

I'll be surprised if he doesn't. One of us is in for a surprise.

Riley Ridley hasn't done squat for two seasons and Calvin has been producing since his freshaman year. Now all of a sudden after one game Riley is a top 10 pick and Calvin isn't. You gotta be frickin kidding Webzone!!! Smfh

Especially the fans that only tune in once a year for the playoffs.

He'll be a first rounder.

He will. He didnt even play bad yesterday. If Hurts doesn't overthrow him in the endzone and flat out not see him on several other times he was wide open then we are talking about a guy with 80+ yards receiving and 2 TDs.


I think most scouts will have a somewhat different take on that game then people just box score surfing.


Its not a great WR class at the top and he's still one of the top two options.
