Really Good Write-up on Funchess and What He Brings


Recommended Posts

I'm glad he also says the Funchess to KB comparison is a lazy one. However, They both will have those open frustrating drops.

-At 12:03 Funchess whiffs on a ball you'd love to see him come down with.

-He makes up for it at 16:33 with a redzone TD

Funchess shows flashes of being a big physical WR...

-Funchess gets physical to try and create separation- 4:56 & 11:00

So many media draft analysts just piggyback off one another. I've seen "slow and big", "lacks short area quickness", "doesn't get separation", but when you watch his games from the past couple seasons, they prove these things wrong. He'll adjust mid air to balls thrown behind him, he'll come across the middle, he wins deep, he does so many things that I think will translate to the NFL.

If Funchess decides he wants to be a beast at the NFL level he has all the tools and athletic ability to do so. I'm very excited and really hope Ricky and company can get the very most out of him.

What I don't like about him, is he doesn't have that killer instinct when attacking the ball in the air like someone his size should. Kelvin has it, Jeffery has it, Megatron and Dez have it... All the elite and even 2nd tier big wideouts have that aspect of their game. Really hope Funch can develop it.

At 2:05 he goes up and gets it while reaching back.

And for that killer instinct... He blindsides the guy at 1:12... But 99% of the time his blocking is brutal

Watch the hips how smooth he breaks and change direction how low he gets when making a move and the slight use of his hands... Also notice the speed he gets on one guy when they play off coverage. Then the moves he already have to beat press coverage......This guy can be a number 1 wr... The next idiot talking head calling him a TE needs to be smacked...

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
