Panthers trade up to 9th pick of second round - select Devin Funchess

[*FreeFua*]

Smoother and more athletic after the catch than KB. However KB uses his strength a lot better than DF. DF is more of a finesse WR, hopefully they can toughen him up, then he'd be really dangerous

Gettleman panicked once his guys all started disappearing off the board. Really wish we had that 3rd rounder in a draft like this one.

Run support blocking by our WR corps should be pretty sturdy, like Moose and Smitty levels now.

I just hate the pick. We traded our fuging second, third, and sixth and passed on Strong for a worse, much worse version of KB.

Thus dude is slow, struggles to get separation (sound familiar??), and HAS A DROPS PERCENTAGE OF 9 OVER THE LAST TWO SEASONS.

LOL... A 9% drop rate and a 4.7 40... Ya'll can have this draft. I've never been more disgusted with our draft through two rounds. And before you say we finally got a WR... FUNCHESS is not a WR, he's a slow ass To with unreliable hands. He gave up all those picks, after saying we won't reach for AND player... Then you move up to trade for HIM? We need speed... And yet, gettleman exposes his size fetishist again. We just don't see football the same.

For you gettleman fanboys' enjoyment, I'm gonna refrain from posting for a few hours because I really have nothing good to say.

Strong is garbage dude. But yeah, people bashing Perriman because of his drop rate may want to pump the breaks on Funchess

6'4", 232lbs., and runs a 4.47 40. My sundial is at high noon. Olsen and Benji at 6'5", Funchess at 6'4", and Teddy G to blow the top off the defense. Goodnight.

I hate this pick. I loved yesterdays but I hate this one. Funchess has awful hands. I watched A LOT of Michigan football and his hands are suspect. I'd rather have waited for the 3rd to take a Crowder and Hardy a guy who can seriously create separation and bring speed.

 

Don't like it at all, especially since we gave up a third.

[Growl]

Kind of amusing were getting a lot of criticism from other teams for reaching after Gettleman's BPA charade.

Feels like a lot is starting to be explained on why nobody would give him a job. Stubborn, arrogant.

The few times I've seen him play on TV , the kid is huge, has all the tools but is extremely raw (low football iq, bad route runner)

Kid never played with a real Qb, has the tools to be a bigger, faster and stronger version of Jeffery's , but needs someone to push him

6'4", 232lbs., and runs a 4.47 40..

 

Pro day times are always suspiciously fast.  No one in the history of the world has ever ran slower at his pro day.  Funchess ran a 4.7 at the combine.

[rodeo]

 and a 4.7 40...

 

lol he keeps getting slower on every page of the thread. By page 100 he'll run a 9 minute 40.

[CPF4LIFE]

We technically didn't give up our 2nd we swapped them. We gave up a 3rd. Which is not really bothering me. OT is really the only position we need starters at now. But who could we have gotten in the 3rd that could protect cam day one? I don't know

[CelibatePimp]

No it's not an error, He ran a 4.47 and 4.53 at his pro day.

Thanks. I watched his draft 40 and it was 4.70. He also seems to play with speed.

I like you as a poster.

But it seems you are being super nit picky. Anyone who isn't on your list. You are negative about. Refusing to see the positives.

I understand you have a lot of issue with the FO but you seems to be hyper critical and sometimes it seems forced.

I'll respond to the quotes I already have after my last post, in which I promised to refrain from posting for a few hours...

But if anything else, I hope you realize I'm a genuine, sincere person/fan, Brew. It is not forced. To this point, I was not begrudging gettleman in some eternal, personal beef... But, this draft has been completely unbelievable in a horrible way.

If you ascribe to common sense, nothing about trading your 2nd, 3rd, and 6th to move up and take a glorified TO with a 4. 7 official 40 and a 9% drop rate.

He loves big guys and we need speed. I have nothing else nice to say for tonight, so I'm not gonna post for a few hours.

I'm liking this draft so far, Prisco hates it and so does Kiper..... Good enough to like it in my book.

Jeffrey was dominant from the word go and is a hands catcher that flat shits on cbs anywhere on the field. And you think he played with a real QB?
