Brenden Rice, WR, USC
Height: 6-3. Weight: 210.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Projected Round (2024): 3-5.

2/24/24: With Jordan Addison in the NFL, Rice helped pick up the slack in 2023 and turned in a strong senior year for the Trojans. He totaled 45 receptions for 791 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2023. Rice was a reliable receiver for Caleb Williams, using his size and polished route-running to make catches for his quarterback. Rice has good size and uses it well to make contested catches. If he runs well during the leadup to the 2024 NFL Draft, that could help him to rise. Rice is the son of NFL great and Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.



Luke McCaffrey, WR, Rice
Height: 6-1. Weight: 202.
Projected 40 Time: 4.53.
Projected Round (2024): 4-6.

2/24/24: McCaffrey caught 71 passes for 992 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2023. During 2022, he caught 58 receptions for 723 yards and six touchdowns. McCaffrey is the younger brother of 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey performed well at the Senior Bowl to help himself.


Are either of these guys any good?

lol wut?

Worthy was very productive as a Freshman and throughout his career.

Not to mention Ewers is trash and left A LOT of meat on the bone. Worthy's tape is full of missed opportunity due to QB play.

Ya I mean, drafting Worthy when you have failed with Moore, Toney, and Hardman to an extent just…doesn’t make any sense. I’d be happier if we drafted Mitchell or Coleman.

One thing that stands out when you watch Caleb Williams' highlights is that when he's in scramble drill mode, Brendan Rice is very frequently the guy working to open space for Caleb Williams.

Rice has the size and speed to be the vertical threat (we think, if he runs in the 4.3s as expected/suggested) and that ability to be effective when the play extends is kind of an instinct thing I think you either have or don't.

I like this quality a lot in Adonai Mitchell as well.

Franklin bores me but at least be could be a MVS replacement.

Would I spend a 1st on that?

No, but at least that is worth 5-8 million a year in FA.

Not great value but still better value than a Skyy Moore who could be replaced with a practice squad player.

Not going to address the subjective jargon. Main subject here is we are talking about the first round, and potentially a spot that would be traded up with Sneed.

One receiver has 1k yards and 5 TDs. The other has 1400 and 14 TDs.

One receiver averaged 47 yards against common opponents, the other averaged 97, which included a game he played with injury. Outside the injury those same opponents he averaged 150 yards.

The production is significantly different.

Add on top of that Worthy is one dimensional, and shares a one dimensional trait we have in spades already on the roster. The move is a massive mistake given we are in Mahomes prime. Forget the fact we don’t even have an offensive coordinator who would even use Worthy correctly.

I prefer Franklin over Worthy too, but to say "the production isn't there" with Worthy is just nonsensical.

This logic would've had you missing on Flowers and Dell last year.

Well when we are talking about a first round pick, potentially as high as 19. I think it is sensical to call into question 5TDs playing in a league that traditionally had bad defenses.

Neither Franklin or Worthy are as good as Zay Flowers last year.

I also would rather have Rashee Rice or Jayden Reed than Franklin or Worthy.

They went in the 2nd last year in what was supposed to be a weaker WR draft.

Wow, very bold of you Captain Hindsight.

Rice would easily be a 1st in a redraft, and Reed would be a high 2nd. So you mean to tell me you'll take the proven commodity over the mystery box at 32? Shocker!

Exactly what fucking point do you think you're making here reerun?

Totally fine with that. I’m a character guy, and Flowers is a fuckup in my mind. Dell I don’t have an opinion on other than I’m certain Franklin will have a better career.

Oh, and another controversial take. I don’t like our OC.

Yeah, basic reading comprehension is a major struggle for you.

When you read the words do you move your lips?!

I would prefer WR's taken in the 2nd round last year over guys you are promoting the Chiefs take with a 1st round pick this year.

Very simple.

I’m fine with taking worthy in the second. Not fine with taking him in the first.

I’d still rather take Mitchell, Coleman, even Legette if they are available in the second.
