drafted Ridley.
Basically Belichick thought Ridley was as good as Mark Ingraham and waited til the third round to pick up Ridley, as well as another RB.

That's classic patriots and why they're so successful.

Ridley would have has much better numbers in college, but one has to realize the offensive system he was locked into. Belichick knows talent. Miles does not.

I loved Ridley at LSU; especially due to the fact that he paid his dues and waited it out for his turn in the spotlight, and flourished.

These days it's a waste of a 1st round pick if it's on a RB. Don't know what the hell NO was thinking drafting him when their D is so bad.

Initially I thought that he was going to be to big to be a good running back. Kind of like Ware. Able to break some tackles, but not break away. I was wrong. He is so damn shifty and quick that avoids a ton of tackles. I love the way Ridley runs.

Ingram is not shifty enough to be an elite NFL RB. He's finding that NFL tackles are much harder to break though.

Do you really not remember Ridley's LSU career, or are you just acting like it so you can post stupid things?
