Gah, he can't run in the NFL...first big hit will break him like a pretzel. Take away his running ability due to the injury tendency and you have a below average pocket passer...he is lucky simply because the class is so weak this year.

Didn’t he just comeback from major knee surgery last year like right before our game with them? That has to move him down the board considerably alone.
I like everything about Ridder except his long-release. Given the gulf in talent between Cincinnati and the rest of the American the past few years his film profile is maybe more similar to that of a high-profile blue blood QB. It will be interesting to see how he translates.
Agree. In addition to his physical skills I get a very mature vibe from him, married with a kid at 21 isn't easy but he seems to have handled it really well, he knows what and who he's playing for.
Wow…I thought I was the only person in Iowa who admitted to being a Lion fan.
Seemed like Thompson had the offense revolved around him more than Purdy.
That's not to say Purdy was some sort of product of the system but he needed other things going well.
True to a degree... I think the offense was designed somewhat around Thompson but also in the NDSU mold .... Personally I wouldn't take either with the idea that they were going to start or be a long term answer at QB.
Both I think can be serviceable pack up types who get a spot start here or there but I think IMO that is probably the ceiling for both of them
Ill be honest. I forgot SI still existed.

It’s an underwhelming year at the league’s most important position, but teams will likely look to the QB position in the first round anyway.apple.news
I am surprised how old he looks. I found a picture of him online standing next to Tuberville and I thought he looked like a peer. Then I saw this was his HS recruitment photo. Yikes.
