Let's talk WRs - Page 7

Check out this kid from William & Mary. Love his ball skills, body control, and concentration. Supposed to have 4.4 speed with a 6'1" frame as well. Sounds like a good bet as a small school "sleeper".

Already checked him out, which is why I've had him in my mocks

Justin Hardy will not be there in round 3, I can guarantee you that. Minimum in my eyes is middle of round 2.

Why I don't like Funchess:

Quote:

Mlive.com's Nick Baumgardner notes that Michigan junior WR Devin Funchess "has NFL talent," but "he hasn't played like it for a full game all season."
"Funchess has NFL talent. But he hasn't played like it for a full game all season. Someone on this offense (probably multiple people) are going to have to have super efforts for the Wolverines to have any shot," Baumgardner wrote. In three straight games, Funchess hasn't cracked the 50-yard receiving mark and it's been four straight since he's scored. Three of his four touchdowns came in the opening contest of the season. Baumgardner notes that Funchess has "spent the past month dropping passes, struggling to get open and really doing nothing in terms of playing through or against contact." While it's been a tough season for the Wolverines' prospect, he still is one the best physical talents in the nation. We're sure that smart NFL teams will understand that circumstance has hurt his numbers.

Even with his QB sucking, I'd still like to see him play hard and use his size to outmuscle DBs. He hasn't done that so far.

Funchess scares the shit out of me. I wouldn't take him in the first 2 rounds for sure. He seems lazy, mostly gets by on size against competition. Doesn't appear to have passion. His routes are shit. Reminds me alot of Jon Baldwin, but less talent than Baldwin.

Let's be honest though, they'll probably ignore wide receiver again.

Puzzling that they didn't take one this year after Sanders walked out on them in fa. I'd like to see Maclin in KC but they won't have the money for him.

O.city · 11-28-2014, 03:37 PM

Jaelon strong will be a first rounder. Would be great for us.

Bring in Maclin too

O.city · 11-29-2014, 10:21 PM

I just don't know that the WR's will go as high as we all think. There aren't any Watkins or Evans in there.

Cooper mayb3, but his frame is smaller than Watkins and he doesn't play special teams

RunKC · 11-29-2014, 10:32 PM

@HerbieTeope-can't say it enough: #KState WR Tyler Lockett would be a nice fit in #Chiefs coach Andy Reid's version of the West Coast offense.

Agree 100%. This guy could be our own Randall Cobb type weapon.

i would love to have him in the mid rounds. i've been wanting nick marshall for a while as well. he can make all the throws alex smith can make, except he can run much faster, and can throw a deep ball, and has a rocker launcher of an arm. he'd need to be coached up though.

just as stacked at the very top IMO.

dgb is just as good as evans with an even higher celing.

cooper is just as nfl ready as watkins, though he is smaller

i think white, parker, strong, funchess are pretty close to beckham, lee, cooks, and benjamin.

O.city · 11-29-2014, 10:37 PM

Either of the auburn wrs in the 3rd round would be cool

RunKC · 11-29-2014, 10:45 PM

Just don't see the need for a WR later round 1 in this offense when you have guys like Rashad Greene, Sammie Coates, Tyler Lockett, Antwaan Goodley, Stefon Diggs, and Justin Hardy available in round 2.

I think round 1 should be focused on defense. Get a CB, an imposing Safety like Cody Prewit or a DE like Eddie Goldman. We'll have plant of options to get a standout WR and TE after round 1.

DB will be stacked round 1. Would love to see us get our guy early.

OldSchool · 11-30-2014, 02:06 AM

The top 5 WRs in this class stack up very well against the top 5 of last year. After that, there is a significant drop off.

Cooper, Parker, White, Strong, and DGB are all comparable to last year's top group. I list DGB last among those guys because of his off-field issues. If he had stayed completely clean he would be a top 5 prospect.

Next are Coates and Funchess as the big boom or bust guys. Both have elite traits but also show signs of traits that say that they'll never amount to anything more than a #3 option in the NFL.

Agholor, Greene, Hardy, Duke Williams, Lockett, Goodley, etc are in the next group of 2nd to 3rd round talents who are all potential 1k yard WRs in the league.

If you want a good chance at landing a future #1, you have to take one of the top 5.
