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

Depends on Toney. If they think they can use Toney on those routes, I think we'll be looking more at the 3rd/4th round and a guy like Trey Palmer this year who slides. [Reply]
All I know is that the Justyn Ross stans are going to be pissed when he doesn't make the roster because I'm seeing a WR group that has MVS, Toney, Moore, Rice, James and Watson. [Reply]

Was that chart counted when he had his toe injury bc that injury changed everything for him. He toughed through it but damn [Reply]

He's going to have to earn a spot. That's for sure. Not going to be easy at all. [Reply]

As anything, depends on the money.
He just HAD a decent year where he went for about 600 yards and didn't generate much of a market. I don't mind trying that again this off-season and if he can get $5-6 million/yr on the market I'd probably move on.
But if you lose him and MVS next season, that's a lot of knowledge in the system that leaves with them and all but demands you retain Watson at that point. [Reply]

Depends on what the demands are. Much like JJSS. I like him at sub 5M per. I don't really like him >5M per [Reply]

That being said, I hated the Rice pick even worse. They traded up for a player that's likely there if they waited and may have been there in the 3rd. and if not, there were better options. I'd be surprised if he finishes his rookie contract. WRs that can't get open and have bad hands generally don't last long in the league. You want a comp for Rice? Jehu Chesson. The Chiefs moved up for him too and he lasted one year. Similar scouting reports.
So of the two? Moore is an NFL WR. He can be a productive one IMO. Rice.
How do you know this? Did all of the GMs in the league have him rated as a 3rd rounder? Also do you think Andy agrees with your assessment? Why did word get out the Mahomes threw to other WRs, yet nothing about Rice? There is a ton of speculation in your post with no basis in reality. [Reply]
