Not all but when your speed is a undrafted guy made of glass and a older player with suspect hands then it is an issue. This sounds like people defending gettleman last year saying bell and chandler will be enough.

 

Oh come on now. Brown and Ginn are to receiver what Bell and Chandler were to starting tackle? Seriously? Corey Brown is no longer an undrafted rookie, he's someone with way more experience than every single player that's been drafted this weekend. I think he'll prove his worth as a #2 receiver or excellent #3 depending on how they use Funchess.

...cant have the top player in every position because its financially impossible... I like the blend we have on offence... if we can get an Olineman worth a damn on the left side i'll be feeling real good and the draft isn't the only place to get one...

.

At this point yes the draft is the only place to get one lol. We refused to sign anyone of value at ol or wr because we assumed we would draft better. If Oher doesn't have an amazing comeback year we are in trouble.

Now this is good criticism.  

 

Could easily push back and say, this is like people taking up for Gettleman after the Kelvin pick.  

 

I think the point that everyone needs to understand is that EVERY TEAM has a weakness.  

 

The teams strongest strengths and the weakest weaknesses win playoff games.  

 

Patriots weren't perfect, nor were the Seahawks.

Funchess is on my short list for receiver. Liked him from day one. He was a mid 1st rounder at one point and then dropped for various reasons following the combine including getting labeled as a TE by several scouts. He is a WR. Same thing happened with idiot scouts trying to force KB into a TE spot last draft.

 

Funchess is a WR who can play well inside the hashes.

 

Love the pick. Uneasy about the value given up for him.

Have any of you "we gotta get a speed receiver" think that maybe Hill is that other speed receiver or our staff has faith that Ginn and Brown are more than enough.

 

I just watched his highlights and am satisfied that Funchess is a good pick.

 

BTW I seriously doubt we moved up the draft just to Fug New Orleans or Atlanta.  They may have been targeting him but G'man felt he was valuable enough to go after.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
