AT Perry? yeah, he's generally considered a third rounder.
Rice was in the grouping in the second round in everything I saw.
except Zeurlein, apparently.
And if they went and got him, they knew that, because Veach is not stupid. |
ESPN analytics had him in the 3rd round too based on their algorithm. Again, I like the player, I just don't think we needed to give up anything to get him.
Hindsight is 20/20 and the next WR taken was Mims at 63. Was there a team that needed a WR and was only going to take Rice? Very unlikely.
