I missed the Funchess thread, but I'm not surprised at all. Ever since the Fall Scrimmage, I've been saying how slow all our receivers looked. They made the secondary look amazing all Spring and Fall, and then ND torched us with guys that actually could run. We never could get an inch of separation even on mediocre defensive backs.

It will be interesting to see how he ends up doing in the draft given his domestic abuse issues.  Given his athleticism, I suspect someone will roll the dice on him.

has lost a lot of money because of his bad interview with the media. By blaming it on the victim is not a good thing for Clark. I'm hearing he's likely to get undrafted because of the off-field issues despite his good combine performance. The GMs threw his name plate into the trash bin because of his bad interview and off-field issues FWIW

Both will have a shot to make a team. Jake may be a later round guy. Frank's legal issues may scare all but Cincinnati. ...

So Frank Clark was arguably the best athlete at his position in his class. Wellman probably deserves some credit for that but should he have been a bigger terror on the field? Just not enough help that teams could scheme around him or was there a coaching issue? I guess it doesn't matter now.

As far as on field play, I think the play I'll remember most the missed sack again Rutgers at the end of the half, which led directly to a TD. The super athletic batted ball interception against OSU in 2013 or 2012 (??) is probably a close second, but I'm pretty sure the missed sack is what'll stick with me over the years.

Over on CBS, their mock drafts - now updated with combine results - have Frank Clark going as a 7th rounder or free agent (25 out of the top 25 DEs in the draft), and Jake Ryan as the 18th OLB out of the top 25 - that's projected as the 203rd overall pick or so, or a solid 6th round pick. Despite being updated yesterday, Funchess still goes within the first two rounds on their projection.

As a Bear fan who will be watching the team try to rebuild the defense with this draft, it would be awesome to have Ryan as part of that process. He'd be a great 3-4 OLB in Fangio's system.

The Bears are already projecting Shea McClellin into that spot.

I would love me some JMFR too, but I can't imagine with the imperfect fits the Bears already have in shifting to the 3-4 that they would look for another imperfect fit. Please consider, I have no idea how well Ryan plays in the nickle (the Bears seem to LIVE in the nickle), so there might be a role there. However, the Bears LB corps is pretty out of sorts right now, so anything would probably be a good addition.

going before ryan.  i don't wish funchess anything other than good, but i think many of us feel he mailed this season in and that leaves a bad taste in our mouths.  ryan on the other hand is a consumate team player who played out of position this last year for the team, and given his measureables are on the whole at or near funchess', it just sticks in my grill a little that ryan is a 'solid' 6 th round pick and funchess is allegedly a 1st.  if i'm a GM, i think i'd have a much different valuation of their respective talents.

The issue is that it isn't about how good you were in college. It's about what you bring to an NFL team. Ryan, while a good college LB and loved by Michigan fans, is likely a dime-a-dozen type LB in the NFL. Funchess, has a ton of upside. The ability to play WR or TE. He is a matchup problem for any team. That's what makes Funchess more valuable. Not that he is a better player, but he has a higher value to a team than Ryan.

I would love to see the Lions grab him in the fifth round to back up Tulloch. Fun chess will go early in the fourth round. Clark will not be drafted, and unless there is a full-court press to undo the damage if his comments this week, he will not even get a camp invite.

~~~Funch is big, not very fast but extremely athletic. Frank is an athletic freak due to retaining much from his smaller days & Jake is sill a heck of an athlete which makes you wonder what (if any but it was quite obvious) he could have been if he hadn't seriously injured his knee for the 3rd time since HS. ~~~There is pre & post knee injury JMFR. Even if not moved to MLB, he is no longer the guy that shed 40 Minnesota blockers to bring down the HB for a loss or chase down a very good VT HB for a 20 yard loss in the Sugar Bowl. ~~~~Even more it possibly validates the lack of coaching, direction & positioning for success given to them.~~~~ Frank would have been a 5th-6th rounder if not for doing what he did. A combined like that may have had a team reach as high as the 4th if he hadn't.~~~~~ Jake won't get drafted because of his knee history, IMO. Yet, if he stays healthy & goes to the right team I think he has a longer legitimate career then the other two.~~~~~ I still contend that Funchess will fall far & fast. When teams watch his film, interview him intimately, get background about the real personality almost no draftee actually shows in interviews, etc they'll be scared off. He comes off very aloof because he is by nature. IMHO, he'll go mid-late 2nd round at best. I have him in the early 3rd. They'll hear the rumors of teammates saying how he quit on the team, the winning doesn't matter interview, stories of him dancing in the middle of busy streets waiting for the bus, things he did on the bus & parties. Not a bad guy but very aloof. Hands, 4.7+ 40.....all of it. If he were smaller he wouldn't be drafted & I have nothing against him. It's the NFL.~~~~~I feel like I should mention Gardner. I just have a feeling he'll be drafted. Very late but drafted. I think it's more likely than Ryan & Clark (both will be heavily recruited UFAs). That's it. I tried to put in characters to break up the app wall of text.

It's a shame what happened with Clark. He was never going to be a high draft pick, but given the NFL's year from hell regarding domestic violence, most teams won't even consider touching Clark with a 40 foot pole, no matter what he does at the Combine or how he performs in the interviews. He cost himself a lot of money with one night of bad decisions.
