[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 876312, member: 10086"] I still see a general underestimating of this WR group. I say that because Funchess, EQ and Lazard are each in a position to make a stride. [B]EQ[/B] is going into his 3rd season after showing why GB actually had Moore and himself reversed in draft placing. Lance Zierlein was correct, EQ should’ve went in the 3-4th round range. He’s big and strong, but also very fast for 6’5 215lb, running a high 4.4’s and putting up 20 reps. He also has repeatedly shown that speed on ST both in college and the pros with multiple blocked kicks on ST. EQ proved his average Yards per Reception would translate to the NFL with 5 receptions in the 20+ as a rookie. If he can improve his route tree and route breaks, he’s going to be a staple of this receiving group for the next 2 years minimum. [B]Funchess[/B] is essentially coming off a $10 million post-rookie contract with the Colts in which he was knocked out due to injury. Indi took an aggressive stab at him for good reason. He’s proven he’s powerful (from his TE days) and has good cut ability (6.98 3-cone) for a big man that’s 6’4”X230lb. He’s never going to win a long foot race, but he’s ideal to play against more aggressive CB’s. So he can also win in full press and provide that Short-intermediate target that we lost in Graham, but with better ability for YAC than Graham. If he can fix his dropsies, he could provide a dangerous target for Rodgers and he would quickly quiet the general consensus of disheartened Packer fans. [B]Lazard[/B] is an absolute steal, he went undrafted and is making 650k. In his 3rd season (2nd with GB) he could be the guy that flourishes over all three. He earned himself an opportunity to continue his ascension and could be the next Donald Driver of the Packers. [/QUOTE]
