I hated the pick.
But, I think Rice could be great based on what he has done so far. I think it's ridiculous that Nagy and Reid don't scheme for him more.
I posted the video because it shows that while he has the most potential, maybe not getting targets is affecting him, even a little.
Also, I know it's only 9 games, but why is he drifting into the defenders? I understand closing the distance on the defender if your goal is to occupy him, or force him to choose between receivers, or you are flooding an area, but drifting into the defenders while trying to sit down in the zone is just sloppy, and is either poor effort or poor coaching.
And I am being genuine when I say I am a Rashee Rice fan now. He needs to be playing on the outside, where he can use his elite burst to get open. And I don't understand why Reid hates slants so much, but with that initial burst, Rice could be making a killing on slants.
Heck, I think he had a huge play earlier this year on a slant.
