Rice's Round 2 ADP unjustified given limited deep-ball ability, injury/conduct risk, and Chiefs offense concerns.
Ian Hartitz ranks Rashee Rice WR20 (pick 41) vs. ESPN ADP of WR8 (pick 22), refusing to use a real Round 2 pick on Rice despite WR1-worthy production when healthy and eligible. Hartitz identifies multiple risk factors: Rice is "very limited football player" with only one career catch on 25+ yard passes despite Patrick Mahomes' deep-ball tendencies, suggesting Chiefs haven't invested in this skill; injury and off-field risk concerns exceed most players (knee surgery in May from 2024 LCL issue, potential suspension/release risk from conduct); Chiefs offense underperforming recently; uncertainty whether new OC Eric Bienemy will run passing game through volatile player. Limited WR room additions provide some offset but don't eliminate concerns.
