It´s definitely not a perfect comparison for the reasons you´ve stated but in terms of overall athleticism and drop rate the closest you´ll get.

I actually think Funchess has the higher ceiling as a route runner (lighter on his feet, less upright, quicker, better hip flexibility). Benjamin is almost impossible to defend at times because of his length.

We will see how it plays out. I have him listed with a 2nd round grade (I gave Benjamin a late 1st round grade last year, just a freak with a rare wingspan and more polished).

I list him at WR.
