I think Rice comes in on day one and is our best receiver at playing through contact - before, during, and after the catch. He has rare ability playing against physical DBs.
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. |

He never moved anywhere. Dinosaur teams didn't like him because he wasn't PRO STYLE!! and the teams who understood what he was were always going to take him high in the draft. KC mentioned they liked him for years. All that happened was the industry draft talk guys realized their assessments were too low.

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...

Sometimes a talking head gets a tip about where the player always was. Sometimes it's just a smokescreen. But these guys set their boards weeks before the draft, months usually. They're 90% done after the medicals and a little extra film review made necessary by some combine results that suggest a player could be a little better or worse than you thought (so you go re-analyze his film). But his idea that teams are just out there moving guys up and down their draft boards 72 hours prior to the pick is silly, absent an instagram photo of you getting high in a gas mask a week before the draft. There hasn't been anything new to learn in weeks. These boards are set. "Moving up boards" is the most annoying thing these guys ever say.

Ok, I have to admit that I laughed while I was typing that.
The truth is that the AAC is not comparable to the SEC. Mahomes threw a pass to Marcus Kemp in the AFC Championship game. Mahomes played one regular game with Albert Wilson and Wilson got paid by Miami. I think that Rice is going to be good in this offense, with Mahomes and Reid. I like Rashee Rice, as I have said over and over. |

But it's because I think Rice is a better prospect and the arguments used to prop Moore up don't really apply. I just didn't think Moore was a top 50 guy; more like top 100ish. And that level of prospect shouldn't create high expectations in year 1. He did. They weren't met. But he can still be productive going forward. Rice, as a better prospect, should engender higher expectations and I think he'll meet them. I'm making the same arguments I made last season - I just think Rice is better and has a more adaptable skill-set to immediately contribute.
