Yeah I get it, and maybe it's just that, I can definitely see a 4.4 something guy above a 4.5 one. I'm just not sure it's going to be that far off looking at his tape. I know some guys saw good long speed but I didn't if I'm honest. I don't think that's his game. Next year is when we go back to the well on speed when teams adapt this year to the shorter stuff.

I was chatting him up with someone in the draft forum probably a month or so ago and made a specific note to say that I was really surprised by that 40 time because it just didn't match up with what I thought I saw from him. He played faster than that. Well - maybe his time was off? yeah - this is my favorite pick of the draft. I went into that last week of the pre-draft process and literally said at one point "Man, i don't really care who they take in the 1st - I just really want Rice in the 2nd..." I think he's gonna be awfully good. Not a superstar, just a damn steady player for a long time. |

I don't quite see the comp, but this would be a great outcome no doubt. I liked him, I couldn't quite put my finger on it because there was lots when watching him I wasn't sure of, but there's something there.

And ultimately the stopwatch did make me question what I was seeing a bit. But in the end it was the physicality and body control. And he was just so good in space. I just think he's perfect for the X role here. And maybe next year we're aggressive in trying to address the Z w/ Moore eventually being used primarily as a Y out of the slot. The timelines work, especially if you continue to commit to backfilling the position w/ 1st or 2nd day picks. |

ESPN was giving him quite a bit of love after the rookie mini camp.

Nate Taylor basically said Rice was the only guy at rookie mini camp who really flashed. Said he looked exactly the part.

But it's always nice when the early pick whom you'd hope would stand out does just that because we're gonna need his production. |
