McShay's first mock has Funchess going 15th to the 49ers. Makes sense. He has the tools to be a monster at the next level. He'll never be a great blocker, but he can be a Jimmy Graham type who's a terrible match-up for any DB. Also I don't see Gardner making it in the NFL. I think Mike Evans would be the better comparison. Graham is 2 inches taller, 30 pounds heavier and a TE.

I think the team that drafts him will try to put 15 lbs on his frame. If he turns into Mike Evans that's complete stud level, but I think that's out of his range. I wouldn't line him up on the outside, I'd make LB's have to deal with him

I didn't mean he was as good as Mike Evans but he's a similar player. I think it would be a huge mistake to make him a TE. He's not big enough to create a mismatch in the NFL.

And he doesn't block. Ever.

won't block, can't get open against college dbs. sounds about right for a mid-first rounder.

He's actually the same size as BMW, probably the best comparison until he shows improvement.

You just wonder what a year with Harbaugh would have done for Funchess.

my guess would be a lot of him pouting on the sidelines.
