He spent a year out of the NFL, is in a brand new city, with a brand new offense and QB. He works like a maniac and his bread and butter relies on chemistry and timing. I think we should absolutely spend the 2nd round pick to re-sign him rather than the 3rd. His struggles right now will hopefully keep the price tag a bit lower (I think he ends up getting close to Kirk's deal) and we're just very happy for the next 3-4 years as he has positive regression towards the player we know he can be and we get it at a relative discount!

We're giving up a 3rd round pick for the Ridley trade regardless based on his playing time. Might as well go the one round higher because no WR we get in that 2nd-3rd round range will have the production of Ridley right now. This team is built to contend in the next few years; I don't like the idea of casting off Ridley and throwing darts at the position with the same draft pick.
