Funchess the next Moose?

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.

 

Moose was pretty damn good after the catch, he's also more physical, Funchess has the reputation for being soft and not using his size to his advantage

Funchess ran a 4.4 at his pro day. He is not slow. He's faster than Kelvin

 

IDK about that, Funchess seems to be more agile and accelerate faster but I never saw him beat anyone deep on the outside, When Benjamin was at FSU he constantly out ran DB's on the outside, he single handily torched the number 1 pass D in the country.

 

And pro days are timed by hand not laser, I think Benjamin has more straight line speed than him.

Man i hope this guy lives up to the crazy hype thrown at him, this website shows no mercy when you dont meet expectations.

 

yeah me too,  I keep hearing he might be better than Benjamin and I just don't see it. Benjamin has barely tapped into his potential and he had 1000+ yards and 9 TD. And Benjamin dominated in college after a slow start

Exactly, and while i think Funchess will be good i think he is kinda being overhyped so far off potential. We saw a lot more from Benjamin in college and people were on the fence when we drafted him but funchess has got crazy hype. Hope we do see it but i just want to see him play first.

Neither. Doesn't remind me of either.

How in the world can you look at DF and have those names come to mind?

In 20+ years of watching this team I don't know that I've seen a receiver with this particular set of attributes and skills.

Jeffers? Rocket? None of them have both size and speed. Funch has natural athletic ability that we just haven't seen in concert with his kind of size. Moose was a physical guy more akin to KB.

If this dude can put it all together he can be special.

    • My general thoughts on the roster as it stands right now:  - Most interesting positions to watch: TE, NT, WR.  - If we add a TE I feel like it'll be a bigger name FA or Kenyon Sadiq in the 1st round. I don't expect us to take a TE that early with our need at tackle, though, so it's likely one of the top FA TEs or we ride with Tremble/Sanders/Evans again. Signing a mid-level FA or drafting another mid-round TE isn't going to help us at this point. We have three of those guys already.  - I don't buy the 1st/2nd round WR hype. I do think we will sign someone to play the slot because XL is... not good. John Metchie, Juan Jennings and Calvin Austin would make sense if the money does.  - NT could be interesting because I don't get the sense that they view Bobby Brown as a true starter. This could be a position we look to add a veteran starter at or possibly take one early in the draft.  - Devin Lloyd was a huge addition, but we need another starter beside him. I fully expect us to go after one in the 2nd round. Jacob Rodriguez makes a ton of sense here.  - The Luke Fortner signing gives us a veteran fallback at center this season. I don't expect he'll end up being our long-term starter, but it's likely he will at least begin the year atop the depth chart. Even if we draft a center it's unlikely that player ends up being a day-one starter. But I think right now we're likely targeting a center in the 3rd-4th round as that seems to be where the value is.  - We have no punter on the roster. Interested to see if we sign a veteran or go the draft/UDFA route.  - The OT situation is pretty bleak. I now fully expect us to take a tackle at #19, but even after the Stone Forsythe signing we also need better depth there. Brady Christensen would be an idea re-signing; I also like Jamaree Salyer from the Chargers as a younger option that still has room to develop.  - Guard depth is also lacking. Again, having a versatile backup like Brady Christensen would go a long way toward having some security for our entire OL, but even if he comes back we should add another veteran backup, IMO.  - I assume Lathan Ransom would be the starting FS if we played today, but we know Evero loves him some Nick Scott so I won't be surprised if/when we re-sign him. He's basically the defensive version of David Moore, unfortunately. Ideally we'd look to add a true FS, but I don't get the sense that is a big priority at the moment.  - Nickel corner is a need and I fully expect us to sign someone in the next few days to upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade. Long-term, I won't be shocked if we go CB earlier in the draft than people might expect given Mike Jackson's contract expires after this year.  - I wouldn't be shocked to see us sign a RB. Sean Tucker or Brian Robinson could be interesting. We know what Chuba can do, but Jonathon Brooks has to be considered a question mark at this point.
    • Considering the Raiders and Crosby’s disagreements about his health late last year and the Ravens’ history of being an extremely well run organization I lean towards the Ravens not being in the wrong here
    • Hoping for Chig as the TE signing.  N'joku and Goedert are more proven and names, but give me the guy entering his prime that hasn't missed a game over the older guys with better stats but injury history.
