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.
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/lwD9tvVPvvpic.twitter.com/YjucxErSE1

Obviously a mistake, but Veach/Andy don't deserve to be crushed for the occasional miss when they hit on damn near every pick. [Reply]

Teams care about the character issues. Like it or not the big talent usually comes with baggage. [Reply]

Rice isn't there yet it's too small a sample size, not sure Pacheco is top level yet either, but I reckon that's about right. Mahomes, Kelce, Creed and Thuney ( though our IOL this year has looked off their high standard). Pacheco a notch below. Rice maybe on his way? We need an elite LT and WR and we're rolling everyone [Reply]
I knew the second we traded down instead of drafting Pickens it would come back to sting us
edit: also these PFF deep dives are full of shit. They said James was a treasure. They convinced me to pick up Khalif Raymond in dynasty and he hasn't done jack. It's so stupid.
You know who is good? the guys that catch the ball and run. Everything else from PFF is them shoving their nose up their own ass. [Reply]

That's great but they need to play him more now rather than find out he's not quite ready after the trade deadline. [Reply]

Now if only KC's elite head coach will give his elite young rookie moar snaps!

Sure but other than Terrell Owens, which was only a year and a half, when has Andy Reid ever wanted to put up with that type of player. [Reply]

Why are you posting this dumb shit about Pickens in the Rashee Rice thread? What's it have to do with Rice? [Reply]

Tyreek Hill did backflips into the endzone [Reply]

:-) Maybe because Big Cat Daddy brought it up about 5 posts ago??? Ill explain it to you, because you're slow and would rather just be a little beta bitch boy post policeman... The Rice pick was good. It was compared to the Skyy Moore pick, which was bad. BCD said Pickens should have been the pick instead of Skyy. Had that happened, KC would have had 2 very good 2nd round picks in successive drafts - Pickens and Rice. Get it now? If u could read you could answer alot of your stupid questions. [Reply]
