BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~32 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~38
ANALYSIS: Draft Calvin Ridley in the third round this year, no matter what!
Ridley is the final piece to help the Jaguars make the jump and be one of the best offenses in football this season.
Doug Pederson’s top target has averaged 123 targets per season and there is an easy case that Ridley is the best receiver he has ever coached. Christian Kirk was the WR12 overall last year in this system and Ridley is both a better field stretcher and red zone presence.
He also was the clear-cut WR1 in this offense in their first preseason game. Ridley has steadily been climbing up draft boards all summer long but do not shy away. Pay up for the breakout season and don't think twice!
