I have a hard time evaluating Rice. Early on in the draft process I listed him as a top 5 receiver in this class. The longer I watch him though, the more I get N’keal Harry vibes. Rashee is definitely a faster athlete than Harry but their college tape is eerily similar with how they dominate jump ball and back shoulder throw scenarios. My main worry is Rice’s ability to create separation vs man coverage. I think early on he’ll be an asset vs zone, but his biggest question mark will be beating 1 on 1’s vs man when teams want to double Kelce/Toney.
Very interested to see how our 2nd round receivers pan out this season.
