Devin Funchess Moving Up Mock Draft Boards, Picked Inside Top 20

In Todd McShay’s most recent NFL Mock Draft, he has former Michigan WR Devin Funchess moving up in the first-round. Funchess, who left Michigan after his Junior season, was 26th in the previous edition. Now, McShay has the 6-foot-4 WR going No. 19 to the Cleveland Browns.

I gave the Browns an offensive tackle with the No. 12 pick in T.J. Clemmings, and there still isn’t a QB worth drafting here at No. 19 (the pick they acquired from the Bills last May in Buffalo’s trade up to draft Sammy Watkins), so I’m going with a potential difference-maker at WR in Funchess. I liked his passion for the game at times, but questioned it at other times. He was dealing with a miserable QB situation at Michigan, but teams will need to dig deeper into his football character. If there are no concerns there, he’s a top-25 football player in this class. He’s a hybrid TE/WR who fits best as an X wide receiver in the NFL, in my opinion. His frame and body control make him tough to cover even when defenders are in position.
