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

I think so too and it’s needed this year. I just wonder if it’s long term projected. For now he’s pretty raw as an outside option and that’s ok for this year. I mean, of course we move our WRs around enough that hes gotta be ready for anything but long term it feels like he can carve one hell of a career the more we weaponize him as a power slot [Reply]

It's gotta be the Bears. Look at what the Texans have done by adding the right QB.
If you're the Bears and you're about to have a clean cap sheet and MAYBE the 1st and 2nd picks in the draft in a really soft NFC North, yeah, you absolutely might be willing to splurge on Jones. [Reply]
Mike Evans is injury prone? Is that a serious comment? He's a possible HOF player primarily because he's been one of the most healthy and consistent receivers in the NFL over his entire career. [Reply]

Hopefully they keep feeding Rice so we can project more to next year.
If yesterday's Rice is going to be a common thing we could get by with just adding one good vet with hands/speed like Mooney and see if we can get him for 10-12. [Reply]

Of course. We need both quality AND quantity even if Rice continues to impress because none of our other receivers should even see the field next year. [Reply]
If they get a good quality vet WR to pair with Rice then I wouldn't consider a 1st rd WR to be such a high priority.
Good WR's can be had after the first rd. Rashee Rice, Jayden Reed, Tank Dell, Puka Nacua. All rookies who have done really well this year drafted outside of the 1st rd. [Reply]

This,
That why I really like Evans, plus he knows what it takes to win a Super Bowl (shudder) [Reply]
