Prospects Comments
NFL - Ridley has game-changing talent complete with blazing speed and rare route-running ability for a college prospect. He ran the full route tree at Alabama, has experience working in a pro-style attack and is a plug-and-play starter on day one. He must improve his ability to defeat press corners off the snap or he'll become a feast or famine target. Ridley's elite speed and separation talent gives him the potential to become one of the more productive and dangerous receivers in the league.
CBS - Wins with top-level quickness off the line and at the top of his route stem. Plus body control near sideline. Twitchy after the catch. Good, not great long speed. Same goes for his YAC ability. Consistent hands. Should be the conversation mid-to-late first round.
DLF - ROOKIE DRAFT ADVICE Before the NFL draft, I was lukewarm on Ridley. I acknowledged his talent as a route-runner but still had concerns about his size and upside. The landing spot raised him a bit on my board, into the 1.08-1.10 range. According to DLF’s April Rookie ADP, Ridley sits in the 1.09 slot. With a plethora of solid running backs available in the first round, I do not advise reaching for Ridley unless he is absolutely your guy. However, I would feel very comfortable taking him at 1.09 in any of my rookie drafts. He probably does not have the highest upside out of the receivers in this class, but I view him as one of the safest options at the position. Late first-round rookie picks are very hit or miss as it is, so I would gladly take a wide receiver who I feel confident can be productive starting in his rookie season.
