Take a scat back with the 8th pick last year only to follow it up with a measly slot WR this year!

Ridley is one of the best route runners coming out of college but like I said a week ago we don’t value route running one bit

I understand having some doubt but Norv worked out both vigorously. I think he has done well developing wideouts.

 Calvin Ridley was still on the board

Everyone keeps knocking his route running, but Steve fuging Smith just vouched that he thinks he can run the entire route tree.

[Smithers]

By picking Moore, we allowed Atlanta to take Ridley.  Had we drafted Ridley, I highly doubt Atlanta would have gone WR.  I hope we don’t regret this 

[KSpan]

Moore looks like a fantastic compliment to CMC in the backfield in that there are now two guys to confuse and threaten with the quick passing game that will help protect Cam. Funchess and Greg for possession, Samuel and Torrey (and Moore) to take the top off, hopefully a second TE and RB somewhere along the way... makes perfect sense to me.

This is a home run pick those that said he is just a slot go look at the film and he produced with not one back up qb but two so excited for this pick. Would love a trade up in the 2 nd for a cb

Who cares what they do. We’re gonna beat their ass next season

What if Samuel is healthy and is a baller though? Would he not the same Smittyesque guy?

No totally different guys one runs the entire route tree one doesn't have a defined role yet.

Our last three premier draft picks (first and second rounders) have been on undersized skill position guys. 

This is exactly the type of stuff losing teams do. 

For the record, I actually like the Moore pick. Hated the Samuel and CMac  picks last year though.

Ridley is a great fit for the Falcons. Hurney will be judged on both WRs careers.

You have to be careful picking Bama players because they have a great system. Time will tell for sure. 

[*FreeFua*]

Ah yes his ability to line up anywhere despite not being great at any one of the 3 spots. Whereas Ridley can actually be great on the outside.

YAC skills smh. You don’t need YAC ability when you’re able to get behind the defense like Ridley, Moore can’t 

[Doc Holiday]

I will say this you could say we got the best WR in the draft this year, and I said this about getting the best player at a position in the draft yesterday.(may have to click link to see what I said)

Also it is of my opinion that any time you can get the best player at their prospective position in the draft it’s a good pick.  Examples of picks like this in the past were R.Kalil, Luke and of course Cam.

You can agree or disagree with the pick, but I'm excited!

[LinvilleGorge]

I am pleased.
