Sidney Rice

I'd draft him in a heartbeat round 2. By that I mean Rice.

 

I think with the WR depth in the draft it is possible Rice could last until the 2nd but we would have to trade up IMO to get him in the 2nd.

 

yea i said that in a different thread

 

I gotta be that guy. Here are the negatives:


Negatives: Has the leaping ability to compete for the ball in the air, but needs to do a better job of timing those leaps … Has some hip tightness, but still shows shifty moves on long routes (less in shorter routes) … Whether it is timing or an unwillingness, he will struggle to compete for the ball in a crowd and despite a 35-inch vertical jump and his 6-3 frame, defenders were able to deflect 17 passes out of his hands in 2006 and he failed to run under 23 other throws … Will need to add more bulk and strength in order to beat the press at the next level … Has the size and vertical jump to go up and make the catch over the middle, but you sometimes wonder if he has the strength to take a pounding there … Needs to improve on short routes, as like most tall receivers he struggles to drop his weight and gain separation … Going over the middle, he looks affected by close coverage at times and seems to be too aware of traffic.


Sounds like he wants the glory without the work. This is what worries me about him. But yeah, I'd take Rice and Moses in the 2nd if we could pull it off, but then again, with two 2nd round picks, I might make two different choices, though I could still see gambling on Moses in round two.

 

rice shouldnt have left USC, btw my bro goes there......misses him dearly
