He might also be our best blocking receiver on day one.
He's good after the catch but Toney might be one of the best in the league at YAC.
I think with teams playing softer coverage against us, this is a great pick. He helps us right away blocking screens and sweeps, and can win underneath and after the catch. Not to mention I think he'll be great in the red zone.

This is why I keep saying that he's something between what Watkins was and what he could've been.
We can use him REALLY similarly to how we used Watkins once he gets up to speed. And rookie or no, the system is the same to learn for rookies as it is for FA signings. If Watkins can pick it up quickly enough to be used in that capacity, so could Rice.
He's just gotta go do it...
