Post NFL Draft Analysis

Devin Funchess, 41st Overall, Carolina Panthers- Early in the season Funchess was projected to go mid-first round in this years draft. After an up and down season for Funchess his stock dropped a fairly large amount. Issues with drops and lacking breakaway speed compared to other wide receivers in the NFL made drafting Funchess in the first round questionable, but his talent is undeniable. The Panthers got a great pick in the 2nd round of the draft by taking Funchess to add to an already big receiving unit. Funchess lined up opposite of Kelvin Benjamin, and having Greg Olsen on the field at the same time will cause major matchup issues.
