Fans and analysts agree: Bears got a steal in Georgia wide recevier Riley Ridley

The Bears didn’t need a wide receiver with their fourth-round pick, but Ryan Pace stuck to his best player available strategy and took Riley Ridley from Georgia.

It caught some fans by surprise, but the overwhelming sentiment on Twitter was that the Bears got a steal.

“Perfect fit in that offense. They just got a Top 50 player in my opinion.” - @MoveTheSticks on WR Riley Ridley to the #Bears at No. 126.

Back-to-back years the #Bears getting great value on day three of the draft with Georgia receivers.

WR Riley Ridley isn't as dynamic as Calvin, but you see the same attention to detail as route-runners and that plays in the NFL.

With receiver was not a real need for Bears but got a player they couldn’t say no to in Riley Ridley

Chicago Bears just got Georgia WR Riley Ridley. Why did he last this long? Big in every bulldog game I watched. Tough. Dependable. Feels like a total steal. Best late pick so far IMO.

Bears WR corps is an embarrassment of riches right now:

A. Robinson (25)
A. Miller (24)
Taylor Gabriel (28)
Riley Ridley (22?)
Javon Wims (24)

Not to mention the specialist/dev. pool:
J. Williams-Lambert (6'3",227)
C. Patterson
Cyril Grayson/M. Hall (FAST)

Here’s what I luv, LUV about Bears taking Riley Ridley. What Jim Finks & Bill Tobin taught me is always take the best football player, FOOTBALL PLAYER not athlete available! No real need at wideout, Pace took best player on his board. That’s how you build a winning team.

So after further research, I have come to the conclusion that Riley Ridley is an absolute stud. Ryan Pace did it again
