So, gettleman said we need speed at WR.

We signed Ginn, Boykin, and drafted Funchess.

 

And Damiere Byrd

 

But, I mean, then you'd lack a reason to complain if you acknowledged that.

Signed Damiere Byrd. Ran a 4.26 electronically timed 40 coming out of high school.

His speed is exciting, but as with most guys with that kind of speed, the hands are a question.

I just wish we had prioritized a guy with speed and hands in free agency or early in the draft. So far though, Byrd is my favorite UDFA.

Don't know anything about him other than what I've read on NFL.com. Would love for a UDFA SS to work out for us. What do you know about him?

 

Decent speed, good tackler, needs some work with his coverage technique. He got beat on a few deep passes, but JMU really didn't have much help to give him either.

 

The word out on him was with some coaching he could make a roster spot.

Nope, just forgot. But good thing I have plenty of giant sloths to hold me over! :lol:

 

So you're still convinced Funchess can't run even though both Getts and Ron went on and on about his speed.

Fortunately, random Internet guys have access to something called the combine. He ran twice and his best official time was 4.7. I watched him multiple times throughout his Michigan career, and 4.6-4.7 is about what I would expect.

Regardless, as big as he is, there is huge difference between a guy his size running a 4.47 (on a pro day lol) and a guy, say like Ginn's size, that runs a 4.3, is quick, and can consistently catch the ball.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By strato · Posted

      We have taken two TEs in three seasons I think, and Sanders may not pan out or it may have been a sophomore slump, but we took a guy last year that was coming on.  I am not in favor of TE in round one and really don’t consider it a high priority in any round.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      Trevon Moehrig, Turk Wharton, Bobby Brown, Jaelen Phillips, Devin Lloyd, Nic Scourton Giving him 6 starters in 2 offseasons that cost boat loads of money or a 2nd round pick... Not exactly handing the man scraps. The point of the draft is to make the team better. You want to make this about Bryce. It isn't. It's about improving the team. And if anyone can look at our offense and go "we're good", they are lying to themselves. You give quarterbacks weapons. We SCREAMED for YEARS to give Cam some help. But now because we are trying to do it for Bryce, you all are saying we are coddling him because of his "deficiencies". It's a double-standard because you don't like the guy, clearly. But even if he does fail, guess what? The next guy has help too. Win-win.

      we have 2 solid/above average (however you want to phrase that) wr's, which is more than half the league at least.  We dont need to be blowing more first round capital just to placate Bryce and his limitations.   We have one absolute stud (probably top 10 wr) in tmac and we have a high floor guy with insane potential if he can stay healthy.  Yeah man we are in better shape than the bulk of the teams in the league.  If you need to add some speed or whatever, sure draft in the mid rounds or wait until tc cuts.  Its monumentally stupid to spend 3 straight firsts on a wr if thats the route they go.  ITs just more and more excuses for Bryce, thats where we are at now.    "How can bryce succeed without a big possession type wr (drafts 2 for him), how is bryce supposed to exceed without a speed guy......."   Its fuging never ending.  Give EE some goddamn help on defense for once
