Taking Ridley at that point, would have been crazy, and just as much a shot in the dark. He certainly wouldn't have helped out the line.
Every fan can play the hindsight game, it makes good discussion fodder. If a team makes a ton of bad and minimal good moves than we can have the fire xxx theme. Overall I don't see it that way with this FO

Mike Shanahan has made some questionable moves and I agree with you. The 3rd round pick that was given to the Saints for Jammal Brown could have been used to draft a decent RT. But because the trade happened and it turned out better for the Saints than for the Redskins, we'll never know how big an impact a RT could have been had we taken a decent one in the 3rd round that year.
