One Guy to Potentially Keep an Eye On: WR Devin Funchess

thanks

No?







I didn't think so.

At that rate, no thanks. If he could be had for $4.5-5M per, I’d be down.

However, there are too many holes to fill on defense to allocate that amount to a WR at the moment

By the way, there is smoke with OBJ and SF again.

Fuck no at 8.9M. Hahaha, he's not worth close to that amount.

Where is this smoke? I don’t see anything

I typed in OBJ into twitter and nothing but Niners rumors come up.

Robbie can correct me if I'm wrong, but a couple of 49ers players tweeted to or about OBJ

One player tweeted to him followed by someone else with emojis saying shhh and a zippee on its mouth. Then it was deleted. Jordan wrote that we aren't actively shopping him but if the right offer comes along like at least the 2nd overall pick then we'll consider it.

Only thing I found was old tweets and a new account with a rumor.

I could see Gettleman wanting to bring in Funchess if he was available at a reasonable price, he did after all trade up to draft him.

Funchess does offer a bigger physical WR which creates a different style of matchup problem for teams to defend.

...Cam is a lousy, innacurate passer. He could potentially improve here. Again, only at a bargain rate.

But I’m told we also have a lousy, inaccurate passer..😎

and several have come in big moments. Man, to play WR you got to catch the ball.

If the price is right. The needs at RT, ER, FS trump WR.

Can we stop with the OBJ stuff?

player, but I'd pass. We have other needs, and he's going to be very expensive.

Without Funchess

Gettleman is interested.

Funchess disappointed out of the gate with a poor work ethic and although Gettleman drafted him, that kind of thing doesn't sit well with him.

went for a 3rd and a 5th

I would think it would take a hell of a lot more than that for the Giants to let OBJ walk

.

effin way.

I thought he was finally putting it together in 2017. Played all 16 games. Put together some solid WR2 numbers. But - he's inconsistent. Lots of drops... injuries. Got benched.

Unless he's on some sort of super team friendly deal, I'm passing.

but it is one I think we address in the later stages of the draft and veteran training camp cuts.

there is a connection to the Panthers, but I'd be surprised if we pursued many of their FA's.

About the only ones I'd think there is interest in is:
- T Daryl Williams
- T Chris Clark (as depth)
- S Mike Adams

I know the Panthers liked RB Cameron Artis-Payne, but he's been injured the past couple of seasons

OB will be here as well.

is delivered.

I like Tyrell Williams more than Funchess. He'd be a better target. Big play guy. Underutilized in SD/LA - still young. Plenty of speed.

I think Williams is going to get some solid play here in FA. I think he will get a nice contract.

.....Engram take reps at WR than spend $ on Funchess. More explosive athlete.

c'mon man.

If someone like Buffalo is going to just dump a 3-4 years @ 10M+ per offer out there for him, then yeah, we aren't competing with that.

Which, actually isn't much higher than his actual market value anyway.

I think GB will want Allison back - but if he shakes loose, I'd definitely have interest.

Not even sure if Kevin White is salvageable at this point.

Crabtree might be a fit.

I think we're going to need to spend at least a pick on WR.

Is locked in to the colts

Martavis Bryant... another guy with a little bit of a checkered first few years who undoubtedly has some ability and a little bit to work with if we want to try and take on another "reclamation project" like Coleman.

brings suitcases of baggage.

think Bryant is one strike away from Josh Gordon

Just throwing names out there - the WR market is pretty bad this year.

Sometimes when you're playing close to the cap, you have to take a couple of chances on talent. Bryant wouldn't be my first choice, but he flashed legitimate talent in PIT and was very good in a less than full 16 game set in 2015.

Scored 15 TD's his first 2 years in the league.

We've been struggling to find the right guy to put opposite Beckham really since he's been here.

Marshall was the right idea - just a couple years too late.

Shepard shouldn't be relied on as the guy right under Beckham in the pass game. I think we need another good target on the outside who can challenge teams vertically and/or physically.

on any of those guys. They have Latimer and Coleman already in the fold and both play special teams, rather keep them as the 3rd WR options.

I do want them to draft someone, I want David Sills but dont know if he will go too high. Looking for a day 3 pick like Green Bay did with MVS and St Brown.

They don't have Latimer. He's a FA.

Much better signing.

Does ancillary things very well (specials, blocking for run). Since he is a big play threat (at least against single coverage) he is a good complement to our group as a 3-5 read for Eli.

Funchess is a fine receiver and could help us as a big outside guy to complement OBJ and Shepard. I agree $9M is too much, but for a lower price he'd be good for us. He's clearly be the bets 3rd guy we've had in years.

isn't a "fine" WR. He was their #1 for the past two seasons and he finished with the worst stats of any #1 WR in the league.

His career catch % is 50%.

I'm fairly certain if a Giants #1 (or even #2) put up similar stats, they'd be run out of town by the fanbase.

Dump 10M a year on who?

Tyrell Williams ^^

whatsoever.

Personally I think Giants roll the dice again on the in house options here. Latimer and Coleman specifically.


Williams analysis - ( New Window )

Have you seen the types of contracts given out in recent years? Google it.

I've seen it projected that Adam Humphries is getting 10m/yr. Adam Humphries. You're not upgrading Latimer/Coleman for less than that, it's not worth it.

Flashed a little last year.

that was a regret.

4 TDS over 14 games, yuck.

It's basic why would you want a receiver with mediocre hands?

That was funny Yaj!!

Funchess isn’t good and spending dollars during the early days of free agency hype would be a bad decision.
