Watched the Falcons/Saints replay again and I cant help but get irritated we didnt snag Ridley, could of easily been done.

I'm still mad about passing on Ramsey roo but that's a different thread..lol

We sure could of used him!

If we got a first round talent in the first, I can't begrudge the pick. Besides I was told by many on this board that Ridley wasn't any good so he can't be.

Great, look to the past and blame it on not picking players thread, another one.

Zeke was the correct pick over Ramsey.
LVE was probably the best pick over Ridley. Jury still out, but we still got a pretty good player.
plus Ridley has a QB and OC to get the ball to him.

So what about the great Tom Landry not picking Joe Montana over Doug Cosbie. You going to rag about that too?

And just as many saying the same thing about LVE. It goes both ways.

Ridley might see 10 snaps a game here, at most. He would first have to pass Garrett's " process" before he moved up the depth chart :laugh:

Would Ridley run different routes in Dallas? If not then he would have the same issues as the Dallas' current WRs.

Yup. Ridley would of been nasty in this league here running 3 routes here. Best curl route runner in the league.

Imagine if The Sanjay Lal coached him up. Move over Jerry Rice

Why do people assume a player has success with one team it automatically means he will have success here, or another team?

This offensive system would have made Ridley look like Allen Herns. That's not good.

In the short term, LVE will give us more than Ridley.

But if change comes to the team in the offseason and the right moves are made (a highly questionable scenario), there may come a day when Jerry regrets not taking him.

But today is not that day.

you are right. I openly admit i had & still have doubts about LVE. But I am man enough to say that he has looked better than I expected. With Sean's issues, LB was probably the better route. Going to leave the anointing oils on the shelf for both til more evidence is presented.

Or Jim Jeffcoat over Dan Marino.

Ridley is a superior prospect to Vander Esch. I said it then, I'll say it now. He should have been the pick.

You don't draft players focused entirely on the present. They are future assets. Ridley would star here one day while Prescott's in prison.
