I had him going in the 4th round in my mock. Also, a key special teams player for LSU. Think of him as a cheap replacement for Sammy Morris.
If you pick Hankerson, aren't you basically saying that Taylor Price is a bust? After one NFL season?that we prob could have gotten in the 5th. looking at Hankerson, Mason Foster...how the hell do you pick Ridley? We could get a cheap Sammy Morris replacement with......SAMMY ******* MORRIS!!!!!

As for Ridley, as far as I'm concerned, you can almost never go wrong picking a First Team All-SEC skill position player.
Allen Bailey, the DE out of Miami, seemed like a better pick, esp. when Ridley likely would have been available a round latter.
I think the Chiefs, who drafted Bailey in the same round at #86, were very happy.
We'll see.
Did any of you watch LSU this year? The first time I watched Ridley play, I told my brother I would like to see him on the Pats.
Granted, I was thinking in the 7th round.
Nonetheless, he's a powerful inside runner with good vision, great feet, and remarkable balance. He's not a blazer by any means, but he gets north/south in a hurry and has awesome power. I'd forgotten that he declared this year, or else he would have been in my mocks as a late rounder; I had him pegged as a "to watch" guy for next year. He improves the team, and I look forward to what he has to offer us as fans.
Obviously Ridley was drafted higher than he might have been. I expect that belichick didn't see any other running backs that he wanted and took his man.
As I have said elsewhere, I am surprised that none of the interior linemen were of interest.
Or his ability to contribute and/or excel on ST adds to his value in BB's eyes.
