Doc's Morning Line: Enjoy the NFL Draft, Desmond Ridder. Good things for good people.

Thursday night is Christmas morningfor Desmond Ridder. The great thing about the NFL Draft! (yes, I did say great) is we get to see live the spontaneous and combustible joy of a young lifetime of work rewarded.

That should happen Thursday night. Most “experts’’ have the former UC QB going somewhere in Round 1. No kid deserves it more than that kid.

Debate rages about his viability as a pro. That debate comes from people who know him. from video, and from the opinions of people who have never talked to him.
