    I'm so disgusted right now. How in the blue fuck do you trade up for Funchess? I wouldn't take him at #57, but I could at least live with the decision. Giving up the third to get him when you have so many needs is pure idiocy. Gettleman is drunk.

    Supposedly he ran 4.53 at his pro day.

    He could do some damage, it's the drops that I really do not like, as we already have that, and the trading away our 3rd.

    A 3rd alone got us Olsen.

    STRENGTHS Big receiver with the ability to mismatch corners in the red zone. Long legs that can cover ground in a straight line. Transitions smoothly from catch to run. Has build-up speed to factor on run-after-catch crossers. Fluid hips for size. Uses size to defeat press coverage. Good body control and length to go get high throws that few can snag. Physical with "separating hands" at the top of the route. Smooth in intermediate routes and can earn a living in that area of the field.
    WEAKNESSES Pass-catching is labored. Allows throws into his frame and catches back half of football at times. Tagged with 20 drops over last three seasons. Isn't a lock to high-point a throw and doesn't attack throws. Won't win enough 50/50 throws. Stifled by inconsistent passing attack. Tends to show monotone, one-note play speed. Hard to find a second gear on tape. Gears down into cuts and slow to accelerate out of breaks.
    DRAFT PROJECTION Round 2 or 3
    NFL COMPARISON Gavin Escobar
    BOTTOM LINE Has mismatch-caliber size, but lack of vertical talent and below-average hands might negate the size to an extent. Funchess was used outside and inside at Michigan and had success from the slot. He has the feel of a hybrid player who can be a big guy at wide receiver or a mismatch nightmare as a move tight end with more weight on his rangy frame

    Even with the drops that size on both sides of the field opens up the middle for Ginn, Olsen and Jstew.

    This WR has a huge bust factor....I am going to admit it. He will need a crazy mentality to make it. Lets see.

    Colon has a small argument here. He lacks speed and toughness. I hope they know something I don't. Shaq is awesome, this guy is great if he gets it. We shall see.

    This draft has set this franchise back, while the rest of the division got significantly better.

    I feel Thompson is a complete bust. I'd rather see him at safety.
