Carolina about to get bunches of Funchess.
Also love Rich Eisen going six to midnight on the NFL Network.
Congrats to Funchess! May he have a long, productive, and healthy career, and may he bring me many fantasy football victories for years to come.

Newton is going to have a big fantasy year next year. Benjamin and Funchess are match up nightmares.

I'd be terrified of them in the red zone
Kind of a weird pick considering that Funchess and Benjamin are a similar type of receiver.

Funchess joins Biakabutuka as the only Wolverines to be drafted by the Carolina Panthers.
Mr. 313 went #8 overall in the 1996 draft.
I'm not sure that I love the pick on Carolina's part. They have two very similar receivers in Kelvin Benjamin and now Funchess.
Then again, I don't like Cam Newton, so I don't really care that much.
What's wrong with having 2 similar receivers? They are going to be a nightmare in the red zone. Really don't understand that comment.
They might be tough in the red zone, but getting to the red zone might be difficult. I think it's a good idea to have a variety of types of receivers. For example, Detroit's combination of Calvin Johnson (a deep ball/jump ball guy) and Golden Tate (a catch-and-run guy) is extremely effective because it opens up a variety of plays, combination routes, etc. If I were Carolina, I would be looking for more of a slot guy like Golden Tate.
Both WRs are 6'5". I can see whomever gets matched up against the smaller CB getting a lot of jump balls thrown their way. This is like the twin towers offense of Marvin Webster and Bill Cartwright. Wait, scratch that, they weren't very effective. Let's make it Robert Parish and Kevin McHale. Basketball on grass, now they only need Charlie Ward at QB.

oh yeah, the combination of kiper, berman and gruden is enough to kill a man.
Good pick by carolina

Every Wolverine to play for the Carolina Panthers-
HARBAUGH!
I almost forgot about Harbaugh's somewhat brief stint with the Panthers, although as I recall he dressed but didn't play. It was also the year where he was with the Lions for a time before the season and assumed by many - until we cut him - to be the probable backup to Batch.
Harbaugh wore #5 in Carolina.

In another Michigan tidbit Runyon did the Eagles announcement.
Break out the boards.
A little surprising, but a good selection. Should help Newton if he can shore up his drops.
Surprised Fisher is still out there - seems like he really fell off the face of the earth considering I had seen him a mid-1st round selection other places.
Jake Fisher went #53 to the Bengals.
Funchess is the first (of, hopefully, several) Hoke recruits to go in the NFL draft.
considering his record of biffing the single most important thing his job entails.
"his record of biffing the single most important thing his job entails."
Domestic violence?
Catching the ball.
Oh, and blocking.
