The risk is that he beats out a good younger guy in camp that ends up somewhere else and then he gets injured. I'd rather take a slightly lesser player if he is younger and with a better injury history.

Youth and speed in the draft.

I agree.

Rice is arguably a top 10 WR in the league when healthy. The problem is, a healthy Sidney Rice is pretty much an oxymoron. I think it's worth the risk though. He won't cost that much, and like others have said, if he doesn't pan out just cut him. It's no biggie.

Hell, I wouldn't be opposed to signing Rice and then STILL drafting a WR in the first.
