Again - they traded back and took Moore (Veach even said they had Cook higher than him but gamed the board thinking Cook would slide). They traded up for Rice. And they did that despite there being more similarly situated WR talent on the board when they moved up for Rice then there was when they moved down and took Moore. The only folks bamboozled by Moore were his fanbois that, honest to god, convinced themselves we got "The best WR in the draft..." In a draft that saw two guys go over 1,000 yards as rookies and a 3rd that would've if he weren't in an offense from the 50s (Drake London). The Moore hype is a CP creation more than a Chiefs creation, IMO. And it was readily apparent to anyone that would actually watch what they did with him last year and weren't just hell-bent on making excuses for him. Anything coming from the Chiefs is just coach-speak stuff. It really doesn't mean much. In fact, what you DON'T hear from the Chiefs often means more than what you do. The relative quiet surrounding Mahomes his rookie year (when we later learned he was out there embarrassing his teammates in practice) speaks volumes in that regard.

One thing about Rice is he seems to know how to play football. Adjust his route. Adjust to the ball. Sees what he defense is doing and ad libs.

Rice is the #9 highest rated rookie per pff Hopefully he has an opportunity to break out in the coming weeks. |

Rice should have himself a great game this weekend. Probably see him inserted into the regular offense quite a bit, especially if and when the game gets out of hand for the Bears.

That’s something I just mentioned in another thread. I’ve really been impressed with really subtle route adjustments he makes. Those subtle hesitations or cutting his route off. He really seems to understand space. Now just focus on consistently catching the ball.

With James out and Toney hobbled at best right now, it seems like it is time to really see what Rice and Ross can provide.
