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

Because Mahomes doesn't need a great receiver to be productive. But he can't so much bring roster chaff up to NFL caliber starters, either.
There's diminishing marginal returns on talent at WR once you get past 'NFL' level. He can't make much more out of Hill than Hill's capable of on his own. And he can't make Demarcus Robinson into a 700 yard guy.
But give him 3 Richie James sorts and he can get more out of them than you'll pay for. And that's absolutely critical going forward as he's not getting any cheaper and the caps not gonna get any easier to navigate.
So cap efficiency is critical and more depth is going to yield more efficiency for us than more ceiling.
While I agree… Kelce is WR1 whether we call him that or not. He’s as good as a “WR1”, at half the salary of one. I have nothing but faith in Veach/Reid/Mahomes, but I hope one of these guys turns into WR1 because we only have so much time left with Zeus. [Reply]

He did say it but as I remember it, and I could be wrong, as more making fun of Gehrig while also saying how much slower of everyone is than Tyreek. I want to say he was talking about an overthrow and laughed it off in that way, like, “yeah, when you’re used to throwing deep to Tyreek, you’re gonna overthrow these regular guys from time to time” sort of thing.

It's a Wendler take to say the only negative thing is he's had some drops? Defensive as **** I'm glad my identity isn't a football team. Your a loser man [Reply]
He’s the “in shape Todd Haley coached” Dwayne Bowe. Right down to the physicalness, focus drops, strong RAC and willingness to go over the middle. He’s Dwayne Bowe as a better route runner. [Reply]

He doesn't remind me of DBowe at all. Whoever said Aiyuk nailed it. Aiyuk had a 1000 yards and 8 touchdowns last season and that would be absolutely great. [Reply]
