Rashee Rice | WR | SMU

One of the best WR prospects at the catch point and winning leverage mid-route. He consistently sets up defenders to put them on his back, locates the ball, and attacks it at the highest point.

Skill set is wild for a 6' 200lb WR. pic.twitter.com/ClxW4SJvi5

Rashee Rice was drafted with pick 55 of round 2 in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 9.53 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 145 out of 3062 WR from 1987 to 2023. https://t.co/lwD9tvVPvv pic.twitter.com/YjucxErSE1

I'm willing to bet that the Chiefs know more than you and Keysor combined about who wants who and where a guy could possibly be taken. IDC what some analyst says, because most of them have literally 0 clue.

I definitely see a little Dwayne Bowe in his style…both good and bad

Are you routinely interviewed on sports radio in regards to the Chiefs? Never? I guess your opinion is as good as mine, which is to say not very valuable at all.

It is sad that people on this board feel like they need to tear down other posters to make themselves feel like they are better, or know more.

I do my best to not call people stupid for their opinions, and I do not attack people because they disagree with my opinion. However, that is the default setting for most of the gatekeepers on CP.

Paid analysts have no clue, but you, a random internet poster on a sports bulletin board, have a clue. Got it.

That's not at all what he ****ing said

Amazing that you think "paid analyst" means you know who's going where, but not you know actually being a ****ing NFL team and GM.

I said your opinion isn’t very valuable with respect to who would be available at which position. Nor is Seth Keysor’s.

And yes, I know Seth. He’s in my phone. I’ve watched a Chiefs playoff game with him and his dad at Arrowhead.

It’s not a knock on someone to proclaim that he’s not a draft expert. In fact for most it might even be a mark of pride.

No one on this board knows any inside baseball as to where players are going to be picked, or what teams value, etc. However, some people on this board attack anyone who doesn't agree with them, many using statements like "So you know more than Brett Veach....."

It is ok that you don't agree with me about moving up for Rice. I never called you stupid, or accused you of thinking you knew more than Brett Veach.

But, there are some people on this board who default to attacking a person when that person doesn't agree with them, and I bet you know exactly who these people are.

Bottom line:

If veach and the staff knew they wanted rice out of the “second teir” group of receivers, then i fully trust their decision to move up and get their guy.

They have a way better feel for the board than fans and media people,and im sure get plenty of information fed to them from players agents in the draft process.

Im psyched to see what rice can do in this offense.

This shows a pretty impressive level of arrogance. To believe that you know what every other teams draft boards looked like, and then to go out of your way to make it sound like you have some kind of superior insight as to what each team would have done had things fallen differently. That's not something that most people are willing to commit to. I am truly impressed.

"No one on this board knows"

But also "moving up made no sense".

[Sassy Squatch]

Wearing #4. Man, still not quite used to the number change rule. Has anyone got 0 on the Chiefs?

They don't move up if Rice isn't the last guy in the tier of WRs they like.

That means ahead of Hyatt, Mims, Tillman, Downs or anyone else on their board.

Maybe he'd have been there - but they liked him enough that they weren't willing to risk it. Shouldn't that tell you SOMETHING about their board. And if their board said that, all it takes is one other team to have a similarly situated board to blow your entire premise all to hell.

And the Chiefs were never using all of those picks. I'd prefer they get their guys as opposed to holding onto more picks than they needed.

Eh - I'd have preferred they keep the 4 and get another DT.

But it's the price they had to pay and that's fine if they got the guy they wanted.

Have you ever hated a draft pick, or wanted a player other than who we drafted?
