Coates has better hands than Funch.
Funch looks to be a possesion type WR.
Coates is a guy who can burn players and stretch our field to get pressure off our running game (I said that in my mock)
Why would we draft someone to play crabs/Boldins position when they can't catch?
Vernon has stone hands and did just fine (2013) playing the role I want Coates to play
I agree with your take on Coates and like you I´m a huge fan. Still, at this point he is first and foremost a downfield receiver and he struggles with drops while being that donwfield receiver.
So until he catches long throws with more consistency his hands are a problem and thats why I did not understand your analogy in this thread.
I hope we can take Coates in the 2nd round because I think he can play the Torrey Smith role for us in the future.
Not a fan of Funchess at 15
