Remember WR Jaelen Strong And How Some Wanted Him Instead of Funchess? Well...

Like many, most, or maybe few, I don't watch a TON of college football, I usually watch the big games, and playoff runs. So when the draft comes around and we're picking as late as we are I try not to ''fall in love'' with a prospect. 

Last year was the first year in a while that I actually did some preliminary review on the top players because at no. 8 we had a shot. But I think most would be better served to look up the picks, and do a little home work first, I think this is what leads to most of the ''hot takes'' it's just hot air, usually based off a limited opinion on the matter. 

I liked the Funchess pick AFTER I found out who he was and read up on him, but like most of you I was like who tf is Devin Funchess...

As much as I didn’t care for Funchess, I wanted no part of Jaelen Strong. I was pretty vocal with my hate for Strong as well.

I remember when people were wanting Jaelen Strong in the 1st round that year.

I did really like Devin Smith though, it’s too bad he wasn’t ever able to stay healthy, that dude had so much talent

Yep, I like Devin Smith also but he couldn't stay healthy. Not really a knock on his talent just unlucky.

I remember when I like Quinton Patton a lot and hated Tavon Austin. I did have Kennan Allen over both.

 

Also everyone knew that Odell(in 2014) would be good on huddle back then. Cant remember anyone not liking him at all. Everybody wanted him over Kelvin Benjamin.

What’s wrong with a WR getting us 2400 yards and 18 TDs in 2.5 years? Austin even with his gimmick running plays had 2900 rushing and receiving yards in 5 years. Also took Austin 378 touches to get 500 more yards than Benjamin on 168 touches.

Comparing Austin and Strong to KB is about as bad a comparison as you can get.

Just to put this in comparison KB is 22nd for receptions, 33rd for yards and 19th for TDs in NFL history for a WR in their first two years. His knees may derail him but his first two years with us were great historically. People act like he sucked and it’s just not true. It would have been huge to have him in 2015 seeing as he was our best weapon (6-91 1TD) against Denver in the rematch.

KB is a solid #2 WR. He’s no where close to a #1. Plus, he slowed our offense down. Not sure if the blame goes toward KB or Cam but our offense opened up both times KB were gone.

Hi that was me. I was okay with taking Strong in the first.

At least I was right on Diggs that draft.
