Rice has been great and gives us hope for another Super Bowl, and is the kind of draft pick the hill trade required.
But think of how much better things could’ve been if our receiver drafting after the hill trade has been better. Clearly, taking Moore over Pickens was a big mistake. And this year why couldn’t we have been as smart as the bills and recognized a 2 tight end strategy. Instead of drafting Uzomah we could have drafted Laporta. That would’ve given us Kelsey‘s replacement as he starts to age and another reliable receiver this year for Mahomes.
And we should have recognized what last year‘s bandaid group of receivers did was not sustainable. If we hadn’t wasted so much money on penalty Taylor, we could’ve had free agent Hopkins.
So Rice has been great and was a great draft pick. but he doesn’t make up for the terrible approach Veach has taken for receivers after the hill trade.
