Funchess is ou Jimmy Grahm

And by that I mean, he's gong to be a swiss army knife

 

I fully expect him to be used inside more than out wide, but more than anything, he's going to be used as a misatch option. TE, WR, Slot. Wherever he can create a size/speed mismatch, he'll do it.

 

He's not a burner, hell he'll have trouble getting separation from a lot of DBs, but one thing you need to know, he's not as slow as  his combine tie, not as fast as his proday time. But what he can do s impressive -- He can outsize people, he can make impressive catches using his long ams, and, probably most impressive, he's agile and strong enough to make people miss and pick up YAC

 

I still fully expect us to take a pure WR if one is available honestly, probably a pure deep threat/playmaker, but Funchess is so versatile you can see why Gman loves him.

Horrible comparison by Mayock.

Jimmy is 3 inches taller. 30 pounds heavier. Ran a faster 40. Has longer arms.

Funchess may be a fine player. He's not Jimmy Graham.

 

No, I'm not saying he'll be Jimmy. He's obviously not.

 

I'm saying he'll be used in the same way you guys used him

Of course people are going to compare him to a several time Pro Bowler, even though it's statistically more likely that he's just another NFL bust. I don't think people realize just how rare it is to get a player like Jimmy Graham.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
