2019 NFL Draft: Bears draft Riley Ridley at No. 126 overall.

Judging by their first two selections in the 2019 NFL Draft, it’s clear the Bears had an imperative to continue adding young weapons to a deep offensive arsenal. After standing pat, the Bears have drafted former Georgia wideout Riley Ridley at No. 126 overall in the fourth round.

Ridley, a two-year starter for the Bulldogs, is the younger brother of second-year Falcons standout Calvin Ridley. An impeccable red zone threat and big play weapon while standing at 6-foot-2, Ridley caught nine touchdowns for Georgia last season. The main difference between the Ridley brothers is that Riley is worse coming out and won’t be a 45-year-old rookie.
