4. South Carolina WR Sidney Rice
Concern: speed, maturity
Could go as high as: Minnesota at #7
Shouldn't get past: Buffalo at #74
Rice's speed is being questioned, but there can't be too much concern about his ability to explode off the line and separate after how proficient he was at doing so in 2006. Still, a forty in the low 4.5s could be the determining factor regarding Rice's potential to be taken in Round One. Rice is also quite lanky, so showing some strength would be a promising step towards filling out and improving as a blocker. Interviews with NFL personnel could be another big factor for Rice, who left school as a third-year sophomore and is considered underdeveloped on as well as off the field.
I'd be happy with him in the 4th-6th round
