Where would you rank Shaq Thompson and Devin Funchess in this draft?

Let's say for fun, each are put into this year's draft. Yes you count what you know and what they did/didn't do on the field. Con is they are one year older (funch is still 21 tho).

I'd put Shaq about where he was drafted -25th(much better than last year)

Funch -early 3rd

Neither showed a whole lot this year. Shaq made a couple nice plays, wasn't on the field a whole lot.  Funch made a few nice grabs and more rookie mistakes. Both show promise but neither are instant impact players.  I'd say they're both still where I thought they were before the draft. 2nd and 3rd rounds respectively.  1st round is for players who make an early impact.

Production wise he was was the 6th best rookie WR this year. 6 WR's were drafted in the first round last year. 2 of those (Kevin White and Breshad Perriman) didn't play all year. Even if you assume that both Perriman and White are better than Funchess, that would only make him the 8th-best rookie WR. The 8th WR drafted last year was drafted in the 2nd round, pick #40. One pick before Funchess.

    • Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse. 
    • Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.  
    • I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
