About the speed and separation? Those thoughts are not just my own but shared by many scouting reports.
What about the hands? The ain't good bro.
"Here are some numbers comparing Rice to some of the other members of this draft class. If you eliminate things like swing passes and screens, and look at targets more than 4 yards down the field, it’s clear Rice has unreliable hands. His drop rate is north of 10% in those situations, his on-target catch rate is below 80%, his overall catch rate is below 50%."

Christian Watson had horrible hands.
Until... he didn't. The second half of last year he looked pretty damn good and was Green Bay's most reliable receiving threat.
The "He doesn't have good hands!" stat is utter bullshit and should never be a dealbreaker if a WR has other great things going for him.
