Or the next Jarrett?

 

Both Funchess and Moose are from Michigan, one played for Michigan State the other for Michigan, both second round picks. On the field both play kind of similar but Moose hardly ever dropped anything.

 

Funchess was picked 41st, Moose 43rd and Jarrett 45th

Karl Hankton is on some beach somewhere shaking his head....

 

Haha why do you say that?

I was just telling someone about how he made a career out of being slow, but smart and taking the most out of what he could get though. (well at least in his time in CAR)

hoping he'll be more than Moose

202 games, 860 catches, 11,500 yards, 62 TDs in 14 years is a pretty dang solid career, particularly when 3 of those years were spent in the receiver wasteland that was Chicago (not so much these days). Being more than Moose would be a heck of a pick.

I dont know, from the footage I've seen feom this guy in pads, he looks like he could dominate..just sromp all over DBs.

I dont recall Moose doing much of that...Moose was a great complimentary possession receiver, but never a dominant DB crusher that had the chance to be our #1 receiver.

There's definitely a difference between the two. If Funchess becomes a film room junkee and a weight room warrior, he very well could beat out KB for #1 and the sky is the limit.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
