Too expensive for anyone's taste... The Chiefs had to trade their 2018 first round pick to move up 17 spots and people thought the Bills got jipped in the trade. If Baltimore drafts around 22 or so Ridley will likely go around 10 if not earlier, which means it would likely need a 1st round pick to move up.... And no GM will use 2 1st round picks for a WR.
I am certain he will be top 5 pick, maybe even with couple quarterbacks going early.
That is a very good point. Unless Ridley goes down with an injury or has a poor poor combine.... More than likely a top 10 pick if not top 5. Cooper went 4 and a lot of people compare him to Cooper. Let's hope he is a little more consistent than Cooper.
If he played with QB like Amari had, Ridley would have crushed all amari's records. Ridley basically spent last 2 seasons lining up for quarterback-in-training.
Julio Jones anyone?
Ozzie makes an exception for Alabama players..
Never have, never will...
Agree, this has been overplayed
I'm getting sick of seeing this sentiment.
That's because Julio was by far as safe of a pick that any could be. And think of how far back that pick would've sent the team if he didn't work out or if his injuries continued like they did the first couple seasons. In my opinion and most GM's would agree in most circumstances trading 5-6 picks for 1 player is not worth it. Especially when you have other WRs drafted later in the draft that also have been really successful.
It isn't a question of whether or not it's worth it or whether he was safe (the Falcons actually wanted AJ Green and tried hard to deal with the Bengals). You said no GM would do it and I was just showing they will if they think they can get a game breaker. So, I mean, not a totally unprecedented move.
I do it purely as a joke. Though denying his obvious bias is foolish.
No way they keep both Cobb and Nelson over Adams at those salaries.
