[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 875502, member: 10086"] I think you can say Funchess is legit. He played with a lesser QB and averaged about 550 yards per full season played with an average just shy of 14yards (13.8) per catch. That’s not exactly a slouch. It wouldn’t be a reach to estimate him around 600-800 yards range with #12 slinging the ball. Yeah. Deguara was essentially an early day 3 projection that was selected with one of the last picks in day 2 (there were 2 picks and several compensatory picks after GB to end day 3 draft. I think it’s partly people are mad that we didn’t go receiver and are embellishing by saying GB was way off the page at TE here. It’s apparent that Deguara helped himself with a solid combine to move up GBs board a bit. That’s what players are supposed to do and he was deserving of squeaking into the back of day 2. That’s not true. As one example.. Hunter Bryant only had 1 combine event where he’s scored better than Deguara (3-cone 7.08 vs 7.14) which is relatively equal and pretty decent for those big guys. The biggest difference is Hunter Bryant is a poor blocker and Deguara is one of the best blockers in this 2020 class. While the TE class was underwhelming overall, Deguara was arguably one of the best blocking TE’s in this class, but he also possesses sure hands and that put him in rare company in this draft. Outside of 1-2 other TE’s who weren’t there at our end of each round, Either you picked a slightly better TE receiver with poor blocking skills or you got a similar blocking TE with poor route running and receiving skills. Go take look at the bio’s of the other TE’s besides Deguara and you’ll see a common theme throughout.. “poor blocking” “unable to get off blocks” “unable to use proper footwork in setting up blocks” the list goes on. Deguara was one of just a few TE’s in the 2020 class with both assets at receiving AND blocking. Im much more comfortable with well-rounded players who are also physically gifted. Or we could go with another pick #98.. slightly taller type Richard Rogers w/a 4.87 X40 and 16 reps? No thank You! [/QUOTE]
